In this first episode, Stephen Horn looks at the intersection between transport and health and the role of space observation in helping some of the poorest communities on the planet.  Greg Winfree, Director of Texas A&M Institute discusses why traffic deaths in the US are at a 20-year high. We catch up with Toks Omishhakin, from the California State Transport Agency at the recent ITS World Congress in Los Angeles, USA, about the challenge of improving transport for all road users and all communities. And as NASA plans to land the first woman and first person of colour on the Moon we look at how space technologies, in particular earth observations, have the potential to improve the health of communities across our own planet with Simonetta Cheli from the European Space Agency, at the recent International Astronautical Congress in Paris, France.
