TWiS 28: Breathing on Mars - Scientist Mike Hecht on NASA's MOXIE Experiment to Make Oxygen on Mars

Mike Hecht is the main man behind the MOXIE oxygen-making experiment on the Perseverance rover. Mars won't be much fun to explore if we can't find a way to breathe there, and we'll need fuel to come home. MOXIE was designed to make oxygen from Martian air... and it works! We'll learn how on this episode of This Week in Space.
