Why send artists to the moon on BFR? #dearMoon

This week we have an epic panel to talk about the recent #dearMoon announcement including Tim Dodd the Everyday Astronaut, Emory “VaxHeadroom” Stagmer, Dr. Niamh Shaw and Astronaut Nicole Stott. We focus on the impact of the recent announcement by using a trip around the moon and art to inspire humanity in a totally new way.

We went in to a more technical discussion of BFR in After Dark and have made that available immediately to everyone here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z53XCV12z-A — If you like content like that consider contributing to the show at https://www.patreon.com/tmro
