Flying to Mars with NASA
Posted: May 30, 2024 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Film, NASA, scicomm, SciEd, Science, Screenwriting Leave a commentAt the end of 2022, I was finally able to see the gorgeous final product of a project that began in 2020: a full-dome planetarium show Mars: The Ultimate Voyage. As co-writer and advisor on the project, I was humbled to hear planetarium directors calling it perhaps the most comprehensive show about long-distance space flight yet. Ask me anything about the challenge of balancing complex science with a cutting-edge approach to inclusivity and equity, or about the all-around joy of working closely with NASA scientists to collect their stories. And catch Mars: The Ultimate Voyage at planetaria everywhere on planet Earth!

First Minneapolis episode: “Three Sheets to the Wind” with special guest John Moe. They named they episode after one of my facts! And about all the drunk talk featured in the episode.
Second Minneapolis episode: “Creature Comforts” with special guest Krista Tippet. That one has a lot of sex talk.
