In this episode of the What Happens Next? podcast on space, we'll learn about what space can teach us about life on Earth, and how to make a better future for all of us.  

You might be surprised at some of the ways space exploration is already shaping our daily lives, and will continue to do in future. We’ll discover how learning to live on Mars can help us solve some of the big problems here on Earth; budding architects tell us what it’s like to design for entirely alien habitats; and we meet Australia’s very own rocket man, discussing the future of satellites and space travel.

"Astronomy is technologically driven. The algorithms originally designed to chase black holes is now used to make WiFi. And we can't live without WiFi now."

– Jasmina Lazendic-Galloway, astrophysics lecturer
