Houston, we have a podcast.

Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 181, suit up for Mars.

I'm Gary Jordan, and I'll be your host today.

On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, and astronauts all to let

you know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight.

So we're continuing our Mars monthly series on first Fridays.

Last month we chatted with Dr. Paul Niles about Mars the planet.

It's atmosphere, the pressure, some of the dust storms. There's a lot that Mars will

throw at humans exploring its surface, so we have to be prepared with the right space suit.

Luckily, we have a lot of smart people already thinking about how to address some of these issues.

Things like those dust storms, mobility, and planetary protection.

One of those smart people is Natalie Mary, a systems engineer for the extra vehicular activity

or EVA office.

It's her job to perform analysis and integration for the exploration EVA system with suit engineers

and stakeholders from programs such as Artemis, Gateway, and Mars.

So let's get right into it, suiting up for Mars with Natalie Mary. Enjoy. T-minus

minus T-minus, and county.

Mark. A-Hargue.

A Hmong-ski mid-lights are correct.

Here she goes.

Isn't we have a podcast?
