Engineering IRL Podcast Rev.37 Mission to Mars

Engineers have been solving complex problems for a long time. One of the most complex problems facing humanity today is getting to Mars. The red planet sits on average a cool 225 million kilometers away and yet is our closest neighbor to try and inhabit next.

The answer is in today's episode of the Engineering Podcast on Spotify:

So buckle in and get ready for lift off in this epic episode.
