"You can't help but wonder about the Human Mind and who was the first to conceive some of these truly fantastical ideas"
On today's episode, Chris takes us back in time to a period when humans just began to explore the vast ocean of space for the very first time. Chris and Konner chat about some of the motivations and reasons behind the space race, such as the Societal reasons, political reasons and even some philosophical ones.
Chris also talks about the impact soviet Russia had on space and technology as a whole, with people Yuri Gagarin and the satellite Sputnik, as well as what the future of space exploration looks like.
