In this episode of HELLO FUTURE, host Kevin Cirilli officially recruits planetary geologist Kirby Runyon of the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) and The Planetary Society to be his personal “space coach.” Kirby, who conducts NASA-funded lunar research and leads citizen science mapping projects, works directly with the next generation of civilian astronauts through reduced-gravity parabolic flight experiments. He shares why everyday people should embrace a “space lifestyle” right here on Earth — from better science communication to stronger advocacy for NASA exploration. Kevin kicks off his own quest to go to space with expert guidance from one of the most respected voices in planetary science.
