One Earth is not enough for NASA
So there’s this show, you might have heard of it, called Battlestar Galactica. And on the show, the human race is on the hunt for a mystical planet called Earth. Now, we humans today don’t share their problem, because we’re actually on Earth already. But for NASA, that’s not enough. Tomorrow, they are launching a telescope into space that is looking for other sustainable planets. We’re checking in with Mile’s O’Brien, The Takeaway’s intergalactic correspondent for more on this mission.
