Tanya talks about her work as a planetary scientist and how her expertise on Martian geology helps her to analyse and interpret earth imagery at Planet. She regrets how billionaire space antics are adversely affecting public opinions on space spendings making people overlook how space exploration technology spin-offs have immense potential to help reverse climate change and make Earth a better place for everyone. Tanya also shares insights on making a career in planetary research. The sci-fi world is lacking a geology themed thriller and hopefully Tanya could write one some day!
