    The Mars society should help Elon Musk go to mars in 2018 . Dr. Zubrin can do this;
    Dr. Zubrin, this a good opportunity for you and the world.

    Good interview, but when was this recorded? The Martian came out a solid year ago.

      Thanks for listening! This episode was recorded in September 2015, but it had such great content (and was 99% still timely, we posted it). Dr. Zubrin will have a new interview soon.
