Episode description

Space: the final frontier, or just a billionaire’s playground? As Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk compete to see who can be the first to save humanity (starting with the rich), we’re asking - what exactly is the correlation between divorce rates and wanting to launch a rocket into the sky?

In this episode, comedian Olga Koch and journalist Hussein Kesvani ask how the space race can be both a cause of and the solution to climate change, interrogate which surprising celebrity Hussein would invite onto his shuttle, and speak to Fred Scharmen, author of ‘Space Forces: A Critical History of Life in Outer Space’ about the past and future of space exploration.

Human Error is a Daddy’s SuperYacht production for BBC Sounds.
