This week, it’s all things space, as we explore the possibility of life on Mars, Star Trek’s upcoming 60th Anniversary, and the University of Akron’s award-winning NASA Mining Robotics Team.

Another new development this week that’s newsworthy but unfortunately didn’t make it into this a edition of “This Week in Tech with Jeanne Destro”, is that NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, has just been selected to lead the way on a new multi billion dollar effort to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon.

But that related story, which is great news for Northeast Ohio, it’s a perfect lead in as we  set our sights on the stars, and boldly go where imagination, ingenuity, and great technology can take us next.

Listen now.
