Episode 2
As we head into MLK weekend and with the launch of the James Webb Telescope, Rabbi Joshua sat down with Dr. Bonnie Burratti, a planetary astronomer and Section Manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory here in Pasadena, to discuss space, faith, and an essay by Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel called "The Moral Dilemma of the Space Race," which he wrote around the time of the first lunar launch in 1969. The discussion centers on examining the prioritizing and cost of space exploration versus the needs on Earth for the poor, homeless, and hungry humans around the world.
