Stories from the edge of possibility—from the people preparing to call Mars home.
Because the next great migration won’t be across oceans—but planets.
Sergii Iakymov, Ukraine
From Ukraine to Utah, Sergii Iakymov has lived the kind of story you’d expect in a sci-fi novel. A Mars One 100 finalist, crew member of NASA’s 45 day HERA simulation, and now Director of the Mars Desert Research Station, he’s spent years turning “what if” into practice. In this episode, Sergii shares why preparing for life on Mars could change how we live on Earth.
140 million miles away never felt closer.
