🚀 The Future of Space video podcast is a candid and informal conversation, between myself and leaders, investors, innovators, educators, celebrities, movers, and shakers that are shaping the future of humankind into outer space. Like how two friends would chat and philosophe. With just one thing missing, a glass of wine! 🚀
Today’s guest is Janet Ivey, Creator and CEO of Janet's, Planet, current president of Explore Mars, an award-winning space science educator, a second-round citizen astronaut candidate for Space For Humanity, a NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador, and self-appointed guardian and shepherdess of the next generation of space explorers. She has received 12 Regional Emmys and five Gracie Awards for her children’s series Janet’s Planet which airs on 140+ public television stations nationwide.
Janet and I talk about why it matters to go to space; how it will elevate the human story; how STEM is the gateway to space; diversity; children and space; having a permanent presence on the moon; 5G on the moon; a Coca Cola commercial; James Webb and so much more. What a fun chat it was - ENJOY!

Brain Greene quote”
“Science is the greatest of all adventure stories, one that's been unfolding for thousands of years as we have sought to understand ourselves and our surroundings.”
Also: “Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive, and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.”
