This week we lost another of our heroes. Joe Engle the only astronaut to have flown to space on the X-15 and the Space Shuttle died at the age of 91. We wanted to pay tribute to this incredible pilot so we asked Michelle Evans to join us. Michelle previous wrote and released what is the definitive book on the X-15, “The X-15 Rocket Plane: Flying The First Wings Into Space” - Joe was interviewed for the book and wrote the forward, so Michelle was the perfect guest for us to speak to this week.

Ever wondered what life might be like on a remote part of the world while tracking spacecraft and communicating with them? Ever considered the dangers of being in a blockhouse close to a rocket launch as it explodes? Well our guess this week has some stories for you. We speak to Dan Kovalchik who started working on tracking stations and eventually became the Systems Administrator for the Delta launches, a job he held for 21 years.

This week we’re joined by David Chudwin, author of a wonderful book called “I Was A Teenage Space Reporter” – David was among the only college journalists accredited to cover the 1969 Apollo 11 launch and first landing on the Moon. At age 19, he was one of only a handful of teenagers with official press passes at the Kennedy Space Center for the launch. He gives us a wonderful insight to what it was like being at the launch of the most famous space mission of all time, Apollo 11.

Following the death of Marilyn Lovell at the age of 93 last week, we wanted to talk about what it must have been like to be the wife of an astronaut in the Apollo era, so we asked Jessica Carr, daughter of Jerry and Joann Carr, and Bruce McCandless III, son of Bruce and Bernice McCandless to talk about their mothers experiences and to ask what it was like living in Houston in an astro house in the 1960s.

It’s our third birthday! 3 years of weekly podcasts, so we wanted to do something special. Today’s guest also celebrated their birthday this week, so it seems appropriate that we’re joined by Chris Sembroski from the Inspiration4 crew.

This week we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Skylab 3 by talking to the only surviving member of that crew - Jack Lousma.
Skylab 3 lifted off on July 28th 1973 and the mission lasted 59 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes which was an endurance record at the time. The commander was Alan Bean, science pilot was Owen Garriott and the pilot was Jack Lousma. Lousma was one of 19 astronauts selected in NASA astronaut group 5 in April 1966, perhaps most famous for being the astronaut who was CAPCOM during Apollo 13 at the moment the explosion happened on board the spacecraft. He was the person who responded to the “Houston we’ve had a problem” message. As well as this Skylab mission, he commanded the Space Shuttle on it’s 3rd mission before retiring from NASA in October 1983 having clocked a total of 67 days and 11 hours in space.

This week we talk to Frank White, the space philosopher who first coined the term the ‘overview effect’ which describes the experience astronauts get when they see Earth from space.
Frank is the author of a number of incredible books but his best known work is called “The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution” - the fourth edition was publishing in 2019 and features interviews with 31 astronauts.

The Gemini program was such a success that a number of alternative missions were proposed for the space craft. Today we’re guided through some of these by Michael Mackowski who is a bit of a Gemini expert having previously worked for the designer and builder of the Gemini spacecraft, McDonnell Douglas. We last spoke to Mike on episode 76 when we found out about his model spacecraft. Having created models for many of the lost Gemini missions, Mike is the perfect person to talk to about these.

If you’re a space flight enthusiast then The Cosmosphere is one of the greatest places in the world to visit. We’ve mentioned it a few times on our podcast now, so we thought we’d dedicate a whole show to it and to do this we asked our friend John Mulnix to come and talk to us. John volunteers for the Cosmosphere and is one of the most delightful people you’ll ever meet. He also has a great podcast called The Space Shot and hosts the Cosmosphere podcast too. He also has his own jewellery business in which he sells handmade space themed jewellery. Check it out.

In this week’s episode we speak to JL Pickering and John Bisney about their latest book: “ Photographing America’s First Astronauts: Project Mercury Through the Lens of Bill Taub.” It features over 600 photos and is the most complete photographic account of Project Mercury ever published. What makes it different from other Mercury books is that these photos are from the collection of NASA’s first staff photographer. JL and John have published 6 photo books in total now after becoming known for their online archive: Retro Space Images.

Covering space in the present: the various ways space is covered today from space agencies' and private companies' messaging and media relations, to broadcasting networks, to independent folks (YouTubers), and podcasters. How well is each reaching various audiences? What will the landscape of space coverage look like in the future?

One final dose of Skylab history for a month or two, today we talk about SMEAT: the Skylab Medical Experiment Altitude Test, which was a 56 day earth analog simulation of a Skylab mission which took place from 26th July to 19th September in 1972 at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The crew was Bob Crippen, Karol Bobko and William Thornton
To take a look at this we speak to John Uri, the manager of the NASA History Office at Johnson Space Center.

On March 17th 1958, Vanguard 1 launched into space becoming the 4th artificial satellite to reach orbit. It remains the oldest object still in orbit, so we’re using this 65th anniversary to do something celebrate an unsung hero.
The designer of Vanguard 1 was Roger Easton who is also the man behind GPS which has absolutely changed life on earth. We interview Roger’s son Richard to find out more about both Vanguard 1 and GPS. In 2013 Richard co-authored a book with Eric Frazier called “GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones.”

We recently asked our Patreon subscribers for some topic suggestions and this one came to us from Dakota Wachter:
"Looking back at that brief moment on international Human Unity the evening of 07/20/69, what do y’all think the Artemis landings will do for international culture, peace, and unification? What will Mars? How can we use spaceflight as an avenue for peace across Humanity in the next few decades?"
So today this week, we're going to share our opinions on that subject. Don't forget to get in touch to let us know what you think.

On February 1st 2003, the crew of the STS107 mission were returning home from space on the Space Shuttle Columbia when tragedy struck. It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years. To mark this, we talk to Jonathan Ward, co-author of the brilliant book “Bringing Columbia Home” - the inside story of the disaster and the recovery and how the darkest hours can bring the best out of people.

On July 30th, actress Nichelle Nichols passed away at the age of 89. While best known for portraying Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek, she also played a huge role in shaping NASA in the late 1970s, so we thought it was a great time to discuss that, and the link between space flight and Star Trek. We asked Emily's boss at Celestis, Charles Chafer, if he'd like to come and talk about this, as it's something he's very passionate about too.

This week we are joined once again by Stephen Walker and this time to discuss the 60th anniversary of the mission of Enos, the only chimpanzee to have orbited the Earth in space. He also taught us so much about the use of animals in space from the very beginning right up until what is happening now.
Stephen Walker released a new book earlier this year called Beyond, about the incredible race to put the first human in space, but his research covered the whole of that early space program and the book opens with accounts of some the dogs who were flown into space by Russia, and so it seemed like a good fit to discuss Enos with him. Stephen previously joined us on episode 49 to talk about Gherman Titov and on episode 32 to talk about that first human spaceflight made by Yuri Gagarin.

This week we're talking about space suits with Daniel Klopp from ILC Dover.
ILC Dover have designed and manufactured all the of EVA suits used by NASA since the Apollo program. NASA decided to try and go in house for Artemis, but they've just opened it up for external bids as it didn't go so well for them... so it's likely they'll continue that partnership.

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.

This week we're joined by Jim Remar, CEO of the Cosmophere in Hutchinson, Kansas, the home of Liberty Bell 7, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of it's flight carrying Gus Grissom into space. A truly remarkable story, not just because of the mission being just the 3rd crewed launch of any vehicle into space, but because the capsule was lost at the bottom of the sea until 1999 when it was recovered and restored by the people at the Cosmophere.

This week we're joined by not one, but two astronauts! Mike Massimino and Garrett Reisman have just started their own podcast '2 Funny Astronauts' - so we asked them if they'd like to come and talk to us all about it and to speak more about life as an astronaut and some of the other wonderful things they've been able to do. Not only were they funny, but it's also pretty damn inspirational.

This week we were joined by legendary NASA flight director Gerry Griffin to discuss the 50th anniversary of Apollo 14 and Apollo 15. We obviously had some other questions for him too, but we really want to hear about those missions, and boy did he deliver. At 86 years old, he remembered things in such incredible detail and was an absolute pleasure to talk to. This was very kind set up by Max Kaiserman of Luna Replicas (check out episode 15 of our podcast), so he also joined us for this wonderful discussion. We really hope that Max can join us for more chats in the future, a true friend of the podcast.

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.

This week we break away from our normal scheduling to bring you a panel to discuss how to best support woman in the space community. Next week we'll catch up on all the news we've missed this week, but we feel that this is a discussion worth having. If you have anything you'd like to contribute to the discussion please do get in touch.
We asked three time space shuttle astronaut Mike Mullane and astronaut wrangler Christina Korp to join us to discuss this topic. The full video can be seen on our facebook page.
Check out 'Riding Rockets' by Mike Mullane. A book we think everyone should read.

In our first podcast of 2021 we spend some time talking about two people from the world of space who we think have been over looked. There are obviously thousands of people who fit this bill, but this podcast isn't going anywhere soon, so we'll do our best!

Giles is a singer/songwriter from London, England who has always had a passion for space flight. Since his early years he’s been looking skyward and though he ended up wielding a guitar for a living, space exploration is alway on his mind and one of his most popular songs is about astronaut Gene Cernan, ‘The Last Man On The Moon’.
In 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, Giles visited all of the crewed space vehicles flown by NASA from Freedom 7 to the Space Shuttle Orbiters.

At the end of last week's podcast we said that this week would be a pre-recorded show, but then all the space news came in at once, so Dave and Emily made time to get together to talk it though. In particular, they both believe that the biggest story of last week didn't get the attention it deserved. So, hopefully this helps to readdress the balance.

This week we're celebrating 20 years of continuous human presence on the International Space Station by having a look back at the history of space stations. Perhaps the most under-appreciated achievements of human space flight has been our ability to stay up there for long periods, we look to rectify some of that with this podcast.
