About Space on the Page
Space on the Page explores the universe, not via rocket but through ideas. Our guests are authors and scientists: people who think and write about space exploration and the search for life beyond Earth. Our hosts, David Baron and Lucas Mix, are recent holders of the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, Exploration, and Scientific Innovation at the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress. In the first three episodes, Baron speaks with authors of books about Mars. They discuss our society’s fascination with the red planet—past, present, and future. In the next three episodes, Mix brings science fiction writers into conversation with scientists. Together, they examine how the human imagination depicts everything that we anticipate, hope, and fear about what is currently unknown.
