Katya Steshenko is co-host of Martian Radio’s long-running frontier and independent-exploration programme “Red Static,” broadcasting from Pobeda. Alongside co-host Yusuf Damir, she has covered outer-system exploration since at least 2101, including NASA’s overlooked Mars landing — where she characterized NASA as “a program running on a different clock than everyone else’s” — and the disappearance of independent explorer Salim Mwanaka in 2129. She was careful not to overstate the Mwanaka case as definitively linked to the broader pattern of anomalies past Uranus, signing off: “If CAI’s been watching this pattern as closely as people say, I’d like to know what it thinks it’s watching.”
