<p>What happens when scientists, students, space communicators, and refugee engineers float together in zero gravity? Former Planetary Radio host Mat Kaplan joins a remarkable group of flyers aboard a Zero-G flight organized by Space for Humanity. You&rsquo;ll hear from participants and mentors including Emily Calandrelli, Sian Proctor, and Roxy Williams, as well as Space for Humanity Executive Director Antonio Peronace and Zero-G CEO Kevin Sproge. Together, they share how a few moments of weightlessness offered a powerful shift in perspective. We explore the mission to make space more inclusive, the awe of the &ldquo;overview effect,&rdquo; and what it means to carry that inspiration back down to Earth. Then, Bruce Betts joins us for What&rsquo;s Up.</p> <p>Discover more at: <a href="https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/2025-mat-kaplan-zero-g">https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/2025-mat-kaplan-zero-g</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/li...
