From down here on Earth, life on the International Space Station seems magnificent: floating through the day, enjoying stunning views out your window, having an experience only a handful of other people will ever get.But what's it really like to live up there? How does experiencing 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every day change your perception of time? How do you cope with being so far from the people you love?Those are some of the questions explored in the novel Orbital, which won the Booker Prize late last year. In the book, author Samantha Harvey imagines the inner life of astronauts aboard the ISS.Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Samantha Harvey, along with astronaut Dr. Cady Coleman, who spent almost six months on the Space Station, and is an author herself. They talk about the unexpected mundanities of living in space, how Harvey was inspired to write the book during lockdown, and how astronauts make sense of their new reality when separated from the rest of humanity.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

NASA's Europa Clipper mission launched Monday, beginning its years-long journey to the distant icy moon it's named after. This mission is designed to tell scientists more about the structure, the interior and the habitability of Europa, one of the four large moons of Jupiter. Host Regina G. Barber talks with astrobiologist and friend of the show Mike Wong about why their mutual love for this fascinating moon and what it means for the search for life outside of Earth. Plus, they talk about other icy moons that may also have the trifecta of ingredients needed to sustain life: liquid water, specific elements and an energy source. Want to hear more space science?

Data from NASA's earlier Galileo mission suggest that a global, salty ocean exists beneath the icy surface. Tides have broken that floating ice shell to create impressive ridges, bands, and chaotic terrains. The Europa Clipper mission will explore Europa with a suite of instruments, through multiple close flybys from Jupiter orbit, examining the moon's ice shell, ocean, and geology.  And it will search for current activity –including plumes that emerge from surface cracks.

In Episode 399 of Sci-Fi Talk's Time Capsule, join host Tony Tolato as he delves into deep conversations about artificial intelligence, the intricate interplay of truth and lies in human experiences, and the mysteries of space exploration. Guest speakers include Simon Chesterman, author of Artifice, and Sarah Beth Gerst, author of Lies Among Us. Listen as Chesterman unpacks his book, which centers on an artificial intelligence named Janus, and discusses the paradigmatic shift in the relationships humans share with AI. Through a speculative approach inspired by sci-fi author Isaac Asimov, Chesterman challenges the conventional narrative and poses the question – can AI trust humans? The conversation flourishes as Gerst then steps into the spotlight, illuminating the tangled web we weave through truth and lies. She takes us on a journey through her novel centered around two contrasting realities, pushing the boundaries of what we perceive as reality. Join her as she discusses how fiction can often be a mirror held up to society, revealing universal truths. Hopping from reality to fiction, we then deep-dive into a discussion with actor Ed Gathegi about his experiences on the show 'For All Mankind'. Hear about his journey exploring his character Dev, the complexities of the series, and his enthusiastic camaraderie with co-star Chantal Vansaten. Finally, the episode draws to a close with a chat featuring Jody Davis, NASA Deputy Payload Systems Engineer.

This week Kelley and Eryn piggyback off of the hazards of space travel to talk about Trek's various aliens that live in its vacuum! Are gormaganders the pandas of the 24th century? How does Species 8472 feel about Mountain Dew and what are they even made of anyways? Let's find out! A note on temperature figures: the sun-side of the James Webb Space Telescope gets up to 400 degrees Celsius while the instruments on the opposite side need to be -266 degrees Celsius for optimal operation. Edited by Eryn, hokey theme song by Kelley.
