On this episode, we look at NASA's plans to land humans on the Red Planet from the Apollo era through today, and SpaceX's parallel initiatives with the Starship mega-rocket. Which program will be the first to be Mars-capable? Also, a comet the size of Rhode Island heading our way, a cry for help to ET, and a meteor shower is happening.

Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik
