53 分钟I'm Sameer Patel, Editor-in-Chief at Quanta Magazine.
Our mission at Quanta is to cover what we call basic or fundamental research in science and math.
That means the kind of work that's driven by curiosity and discovery and the search for knowledge.
We're interested in how and why everything around us works the way that it does.
On our brand new show, The Quanta Podcast, you'll meet the writers and editors behind the magazine.
And together, we'll explore the biggest ideas and the tiniest details.
Join me for the quantum podcast, your weekly dispatch from the frontiers of science and math.
Welcome to a special edition of New Scientist Podcast, The World,
the Universe and Us, recorded live at the Royal Society in London.
I'm Rowan Hooper.
And I'm Abby Beale.
Now, earlier this year,
the Royal Society published a report on space exploration over the next 50 years, called Space 2075.
And that's the starting point for our discussion this evening.
We're here to explore space travel in the future and to do that we are delighted to welcome three very special guests.
So let's introduce them.
We have the first British astronaut, Helen Sharman.
Helen was part of a Soyuz mission in 1991 and she spent seven days in space.
And then next to Helen, we have Irina de Giulio.
She's a biomedical engineer at King's College London.
