Space and Things

This week we're joined by author and space historian Richard Jurek to cover a diverse set of subjects which he is interested in. Richard has released two books, 'Marketing The Moon: The Selling Of The Apollo Lunar Program' and 'The Ultimate Engineer: The Remarkable Life of NASA's Visionary Leader George Low'. He has also set up the Jefferson Space Museum to showcase his collection of flown $2 bills, and that's a story that you won't want to miss.

This week we're joined by someone who is going to Mars for two weeks, well kind of. Britaney Phillips is about to take part in an Earth analog mission run by HI-SEAS. An analog mission is where a situation is recreated down here on earth which will recreate some conditions that we might experience in space in order to help prepare for long duration missions.

This week it's the 60th anniversary of the flight of Gherman Titov on Vostok 2. One of the most colourful characters of the Soviet Union space program and someone who we should all know more about, but we don't. So we asked Stephen Walker to come and talk to us about him and his life.

This week we're joined by Apollo legend Fred Haise. Known for being the lunar module pilot on the ill fated Apollo 13 mission, but we wanted to talk to him about the other parts of his life which often get left behind, in particular the Space Shuttle Approach and Landing Tests, of which he commanded three on the Space Shuttle Enterprise.
