On today’s This Week in Space, we talk about what it takes to survive in space, or more frankly, how space can kill you and what you can do about.

Whether during launch, an extended journey, or on the moon, Mars or in orbit, there will be human casualties. How will we deal with a death in space? What do you do with a body you might not be able to return to Earth? Do we set them adrift like a burial at sea or stuff them into a refrigerator for later? Tune in to find out.
Plus, NASA’s Artemis 1 gets a launch date, and the James Webb Space Telescope could help look for clues of alien life in exoplanet atmospheres!
