Episode notes

NASA launched Artemis 1, the first in a series of missions that'll eventually take humans back to the moon. This week on Unexplainable, what does space do to the human body? Jeff Goodell talks about the perilous effects of a doomsday glacier if and when it breaks apart from Antarctica.

While the world’s leaders are meeting at COP27 to discuss climate change, Antarctica’s massive Thwaites Glacier is melting. The world’s coastlines face catastrophic consequences. Rolling Stone’s Jeff Goodell went to see it with his own eyes.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and edited by Matt Collette and Sean Rameswaram, who also hosted.
