On Episode 122 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with Dale Skran, COO and SVP of the National Space Society, and video producer Isaac Arthur about the realistic prospects for space settlement.

We gathered together two of our favorite experts on the topic to discuss the book and our prospects for rational, realistic plans. Join us!
