John Batchelor and I welcomed back Dr. Haym Benaroya for a two segment Hotel Mars discussion about the Moon and on to Mars.  Check the tags above for the variety of topics for this discussion.  Note the focus on was new technologies to clean lunar regolith, possible Mars dust and soil as well.  Also the use of new types of nuclear reactors for power on both the Moon and Mars.  John asked our guest about drones on Mars given the success of Ingenuity.  Per the above tags, several other topics were brought up and discussed.
