It's finally happened. We've got a whole show dedicated to Skylab. That's right, this week Emily talks us through 5 random facts about Skylab which maybe you knew, or maybe you didn't, but either way, it's something she's incredibly passionate about and thus very entertaining and educational at the same time!

This week we talk about a real unsung hero. Gerard K. O'Neill. His work about space colonies was truly ground breaking and his book 'The High Frontier' is one of the most inspiring there is. O'Neill is the subject of a new movie, 'The High Frontier - The Untold Story Of Gerard K. O'Neill' and we're joined by three members of the production team to discuss O'Neill and the movie: Director Ryan Stuit; writer and producer Will Henry; and executive producer Dylan Taylor.
