Deke Slayton is a legend in the space flight world, but how much do we know about him? Well this week we're joined by his son Kent, and Alyssa Young, the executive director of the Deke Slayton Memorial Museum, to find out more. We thought this would be a discussion about the legacy of Deke, but it ended up being so much more.

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.

For our 100th episode, we decided that we’d like to talk some more about Skylab, and why not talk to one of the astronauts who lived onboard back in 1973, Dr. Joseph Kerwin.
Dr Kerwin doesn’t have any social media pages, but learn more about Skylab in the book he co-wrote with Owen Garriott and David Hitt: Homesteading Space: The Skylab Story.
