  • Footsteps on the path to the Moon and Mars

    Dr. David Williams is both a Terranaut and astronaut.  He's been a pioneer at bringing medicine to space, helped construct the International Space Station, written popular children books on space, managed a hospital system with a larger budget than the Canadian Space Agency, began training astronauts as aquanauts and much more. Along the way he's come to understand the critical role thousands of Terranauts have played as on the path to the Moon and Mars.

  • The Clandestine Terranaut

    What is a Clandestine Terranaut? If you’re opening up New Space markets, albeit in the failing Soviet Union, and then Russia, and different parts of the US government either support you or don’t, how do you classify your work?

    After all, you’re being asked to transition a communist state to, in part, a capital state with a new venture.

    Today on the Terranauts podcast you’ll hear that story from someone who could have been labelled the “clandestine” Terranaut at the time.

    On the podcast we have talked to Terranauts who have been in on the early days of big programs and we have talked to Terranauts that are bringing new technology to space and to market.
