Space is dangerous. And as long as we've been sending people into space, we've also been thinking about what we can do to make sure they're prepared for it, and make sure they will come home again. The main way that manifests is in training astronauts before they go up, and contingency planning on how to rescue them if something goes awry.
We’re joined by Dr. Emily A. Margolis, Curator of Contemporary Spaceflight.
Thanks to our guests on this episode:
Major Nick Barwikowski, Commander, Army SERE School
Chief Warrant Officer, Retired Mike Christanson, Head Instructor, Army SERE School
Grant Cates, Senior Project Manager at The Aerospace Corporation
