From launch to landing, spaceflight is a horror show of hazards. Discover how to overcome them, with the help of a biomedical/aerospace engineer.

Taught by veteran biomedical space researcher Dr. Ronke Olabisi of the University of California, Irvine, this 12-lecture course focuses on the many hazards of spaceflight and how astronauts deal with them. From launch to landing, from spacewalks to sponge baths, these lectures provide an in-depth look at living and working in a truly alien environment. Learn how it takes more than the “right stuff” to survive in space.

About the Authors

Ronke Olabisi

Ronke Olabisi thumbnail

Ronke Olabisi is a US biomedical engineer (Stanford School of Medicine alumna) whose teaching material on space science and human survival in space environments has been published as on-demand video courses for general adult audiences.

Her CourseFlix listing carries How to Survive in Space — a structured walkthrough of the physiological, psychological, and engineering challenges of human spaceflight, drawn from current space-medicine and space-engineering research.

Material is paid and aimed at general adult learners interested in space science. The course sits in the broader Non-Tech catalog on CourseFlix as a general-interest reference rather than as a software-engineering track.

Wondrium (The Great Courses)

Wondrium (The Great Courses) thumbnail

Wondrium (formerly The Great Courses Plus and originally The Great Courses) is a US online education platform that has been publishing university-level video lecture series since 1990. The platform's distinctive contribution is the depth and production quality of its courses — each is taught by a tenured university professor with the production values of a documentary series, not a YouTube tutorial.

The catalog covers academic disciplines rather than technical-skill training: history, philosophy, science, mathematics, literature, music theory, religion, economics. Material is taught by faculty from Stanford, Yale, Princeton, the University of Chicago, MIT, and similar institutions. Wondrium is typically used by intellectually-curious adult learners filling in the liberal-arts side of their education.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 19 Wondrium / Great Courses titles spanning that range — sitting in the broader CourseFlix catalog as general-interest reference rather than as a software-engineering track. Material is paid; Wondrium itself runs on a monthly / annual subscription on the original platform.
