In this star-studded season finale, Jack and Justin are joined by South Australia's Deputy Premier (and Minister for Defence and Space Industries), Dr Susan Close, as well as Dr Catherine Grace, Associate Director for Space at the South Australian Space Industry Centre (SASIC). Together, they'll discuss space Eurovision, Angela Lansbury, and the deeper things that connect us.

ABOUT US: Mates in Space is a podcast about how we’re going to get to space without taking all of Earth’s bulls**t up with us!

Justin McArthur and Jack Eaton are going to get to space, without taking Earth’s bulls**t up with them. As Australia plans for a future among the stars, we’re stuck hearing about the joyrides of billionaires — but there are far more interesting conversations to be had. 'Mates in Space' is a science comedy podcast about our space aspirations, featuring a mix of narrative journalism, interviews with experts, and (occasionally) jokes. It’s a bit nerdy, a bit sciency, and a lot of fun. Dr Karl, eat your heart out.
