Rod Pyle returns to talk about his two latest books -- "Heroes of the Space Age" and "First on the Moon" -- and the conversation could literally have lasted a few hours.

In "Heroes of the Space Age", we talk about the people he wasn't able to extensively cover in the book, and what the people who are in the book meant to us getting off the planet into space in the first place.

"First on the Moon" is a beautiful pictorial celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, full of outstanding pictures, histories and stories.

Rod also talks about a few upcoming projects being worked on, a few projects he hopes he can work on, plus some news from the National Space Society.
