This chapter explores the idea of double-nomics through Discover's cashback offer and transitions into an engaging discussion on robotics in space exploration. Featuring a visit from a Carnegie Mellon roboticist, the hosts share personal anecdotes while humorously debating the benefits and challenges of integrating robotics into our lives.
Could we use robots to explore the oceans of Enceladus? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-host Harrison Greenbaum dive deep into the EELS Project, sending a snake-like robot to Enceladus with Matthew Travers, a roboticist at the Biorobotics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University.
