Houston, we have a podcast.
Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson space Center, episode 358.
Our orbiting labs benefits for Humanity.
I'm Kenna Pell and I'll be your host today.
On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers and astronauts, all to let you know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight and more.
On this episode, we discuss space station science, but more specifically, how space station science benefits you.
I sit down with the Deputy Chief Scientist for the International Space Station, Meg Everett, to dive into the vast world of the orbiting lab's benefits to humanity.
We talk through an array of these benefits, from how station research has improved cancer drug administration to everyday household products you might find at home.
With so many benefits and so little time to cover, we break down our conversation of examples into four scientific, societal, exploration, and economic.
Through our discussion, we highlight new scientific breakthroughs taking place on station that help us on Earth, groundbreaking discoveries helping society, technologies that serve as a test bed for future space exploration, and contributions to both the economy here on Earth and the growing economy in low Earth orbit.
Let's get to it.
