About this episode
What’s an astronaut’s time worth? Answering that question is not a perfect science, but at more than $100,000 an hour (not counting salary - that's just to keep one alive) on the International Space Station, it’s safe to say it’s more than you want to pay for bagging up trash.
This week, we take a field trip in New York City to see some space robots that could help with this problem.
We Meet:
Icarus Robotics CEO Ethan Barajas
Icarus Robotics CTO Jamie Palmer
