In this episode of HELLO FUTURE, host Kevin Cirilli sits down with his space coach, Kirby Runyon — research scientist at the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) and contributor to The Planetary Society — who is one of NASA’s leading experts mapping the Moon. Kirby breaks down the Moon’s incredible geological diversity, from massive impact basins and ancient lava plains to future landing sites for crewed missions. He explains why humans should be racing back to the Moon and playfully tackles the big question: Should we reclassify it as a planet? Packed with NASA-backed insights, this episode shows why the Moon isn’t just a destination — it’s the key to our future as a spacefaring species.
