Our New Podcast on Writing and Space Exploration
Space on the Page is a new podcast that explores the universe, not via rocket but through ideas. Our guests are authors and scientists: people who think and write about space exploration and the search for life beyond Earth. The hosts are David Baron and Lucas Mix, both holders of the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, Exploration, and Scientific Innovation.
The John W. Kluge Center brings together the world's best thinkers to contribute to the conversation about the challenges facing democracies in the 21st century.
