Description

In our final episode of February we wanted to share what to expect in space to start March 2021 (on earth and mars). I share my thoughts on Mars Perseverance Landing and the data we've gathered. The inevitable fake science reporting or poor attention grabbing content sharing fake Mars has returned. Can we get better at this as science communicators? Latest data from Mars rover (images, videos, & more) can be found here:  https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/images/ Then we close talking about NASA's history, which is infinitely tied with Black History month. This year we learned about Nichelle Nichols' influence on NASA from the 1970's-2015. A major influencer on the diversity of talent from all spectrums of humanity.  The new movie about Nichelle Nichols, 'Woman in Motion', on this exact topic can be found here: https://amzn.to/3e2MpWa More about Ed Dwight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Dwight More about Charles Bolden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bolden
