Season 2 Trailer

Alexander Winn introduces our newest host, Lacey Hannan. This season on Settle the Stars, we will be covering the scientific accuracy behind books like “The Martian” and films like “Interstellar”, “Contact”, “Lost in Space” and many more.

And of course, we will look into answering the question we’ve been asking throughout the entirety of our series... “HOW scientifically plausible is it to succeed in this mission?” “Can we survive a harrowing journey into the depths of space?”

New episode every Friday.

”Interstellar” Directed by Christopher Nolan

It was not until 2014 that audiences were first shown a realistic visualization of a black hole in a major motion picture. Those visuals came courtesy of the efforts of Christopher Nolan, who sought to bring viewers the most authentically realized sci-fi film he could. Lacey Hannan goes deep into the black holes of "Interstellar".
