What this episode covers

Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss three engineering stories: the joint Lockheed Martin and General Motors contract for NASA's Artemis lunar rover, which will leverage GM's Cruise autonomous driving tech; TerraClear, a startup founded by serial entrepreneur Brent Frei that raised $500,000 to build a robotic rock-picking arm for agriculture; and a graphene-enhanced concrete developed by the University of Manchester and Nationwide Engineering that reduces CO2 emissions by 30% in the material and 2% globally.
