S11 E19 - Round Robin - We Thought They Were Stars -Satellites, Space Travel & What Happens to the Human Body in Space

What started as a quiet night around a bonfire quickly turned into something much bigger. After spotting multiple moving lights in the sky, we found ourselves asking—what are we really looking at? Satellites, space travel, and the reality of what happens beyond Earth quickly became the focus of the conversation. In this episode of Round Robin, we explore how astronauts return to Earth, the difference between space shuttle landings and modern splashdowns, and what really happens to the human body in zero gravity—including muscle loss, bone density changes, and recovery after returning home. We also dive into personal stories of unexplainable moments, ask whether we would actually go to space, and honor Christa McAuliffe, a teacher who inspired millions to look up and wonder. From curiosity to reality… this conversation goes further than we expected. #RoundRobinPodcast #SpaceMystery #NightSky #Satellites #Curiosity Hosted and Produced by Tracy Preston, Featuring Christine Mulligan, Nina and Mulligan and of course my husband Todd Preston Original artwork by Todd Preston Original music created exclusively for Round Robin by Tracy Preston
