01: Is Space Exploration Worth It?

Is space exploration worth it? Why did it start? What pushed it forward? Should we be investing this much money into risky aerospace projects? And are there any practical benefits to this hefty investment?  

In the inaugural episode of The Sound of Space podcast, we discuss all these questions and more. Tune in to find out what the role of the aerospace industry is in our daily lives and ultimately, whether we think space exploration is worth it.
