Australia is heading to the moon for the first time. The Australian Space Agency has unveiled a prototype of a rover bound for the lunar surface on a NASA mission this decade. ‘Roo-ver,’ as it’s been nicknamed by the public, will explore the moon to help experts learn more about establishing a “sustainable human presence" there. The project is being developed by the ELO2 consortium — a group of companies and universities selected by the Australian Space Agency. Mechanical Engineer Chloe Chang has been working with Lunar Outpost Oceania, the technical lead of the ELO2 consortium, and she joins us in the deep dive to explain the announcement.

Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Zara Seidler
Producer: Orla Maher

Australia’s first moon mission explained

2024 was a tough year for both the Australian and global economies, with headlines about inflation, cost of living, housing affordability and global conflicts dominating headlines.

Now, as we look down barrel of a new year, the tune has changed - Australia’s Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the worst is behind us, Donald Trump has promised to make America rich again, and the RBA has signalled it may be warming to the idea of a drop of interest rates.

On today’s pod, we’re going to chat to Matt Grudnoff, a senior economist at the Australia Institute, about the year that was in economics, what he thinks will happen in 2025, and what’s giving him hope.
