Podcast: Pablo Torre Finds OutPublished On: Tue Sep 24 2024
Description: Two NASA astronauts are in the midst of an extended, headline-grabbing, eight-month stay in orbit.

Because he was stranded there for 200 days after his cargo ship blew up — low on underwear, polo shirts and his beloved borscht. Turns out, there are way worse places to be than staring out a Russian dorm-room window while watching bombs, auroras, typhoons and the very essence of human nature, from 250 miles up. Also: how to pee, dream and listen to Hans Zimmer without gravity. (Hint: Do not raw-dog the universe.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
