Discussed: What If We Lived in Space? - with Ronke Olabisi | Episode 2
Listen to the extended version of this episode, including an interview with Jerry Stone on any podcasting platform: https://link.chtbl.com/yt-living-in-space
Why would we choose to live on a space habitat? Join Richard and Peter in their discussion with Dr. Ronke Olabisi. She earned the first of her many degrees in mechanical engineering from MIT and a certificate from the Russian Moscow Aviation Institute in their Manned Mission to Mars student exchange program. She is currently a member of “100 Year Starship”, an initiative that seeks to replicate the rapid technological development stimulated by the moon landings by tackling human interstellar travel.
NOTE: What If Discussed is on hiatus. The former producer and co-host of "What IF Discussed" asked and tried to answer lots of question on the show along with the top names in science. Join him now as he looks to go deeper, ask bigger questions with world thought leaders with nuance, objectivity and context on "A Third Way". - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK1ZkAdeQ6UGJ_duA2FzEfg
