So Wendy, how many citations are in this episode?

There's 78.

Thanks so much for telling me.

You said it was your kazoo, but you made a motion like it was a truck.

What do you think a kazoo is?

Wait, which, that analogy, which is vaping and which is smoking?

Yeah, point extremely clearly made.

I can't think of a better public health message than that.

Hi, I'm Wendy Zuckerman and you're listening to Science Versus.

Today, we are pitting facts against frontiers.

Four, three, two, one.

As we tackle the moon.

This week, four astronauts flew around the moon, going further into space than humans ever have before.

The NASA mission is called Artemis II, and they're scheduled to splash down back on Earth tomorrow.

And all over the world, people have been stunned by this journey.

The astronauts themselves are in awe of everything they're seeing.

And while these astronauts didn't land on the moon, in just two years, NASA hopes to get people to walk on the moon for the first time in over 50 years.

And when that happens, when we actually see people walking on the moon again...

That is sure to send our moon joy into warp drive.

Angel Abud-Madrid, who studies space exploration now, remembers that moment back in 1969 and how amazing it was.
