Summary
Adeena and I chat about science, from space travel, my thoughts on planetary living, technological advances and science education with a LOT of sci-fi references mixed in.

She's also a science fiction writer with the first book of her Robot Galaxy series, "Crazy Foolish Robots" out on Amazon.
