    148 - STS-74 - Putting out the Welcome Mat (Mir Docking Module) Dec 09, 2021
    Show notes

    We've docked at Mir before, but moving the Kristall module around is such a hassle. What if we could just make it a little longer so the shuttle could dock with it in its usual location? Also, please don't keep your ice cream next to the blood and urine samples.

    147 - STS-73 - Seventh Time's the Charm (USML-2) Nov 25, 2021
    Show notes

    Columbia is back from the shop and is sporting some new upgrades, but seems reluctant to leave Earth on its 18th voyage. Once on orbit, we'll do some science, learn why TV is good, and perform some magic tricks!

    146 - STS-69 - Who Let the Dogs Back Out (Wake Shield Facility 2) Nov 11, 2021
    Show notes

    Endeavour is back on the launch pad with two payloads to both deploy and retrieve. One of those payloads looks a whole lot like a gigantic frisbee, something that would be sure to get the attention of any dog (or dog crew) nearby.

    145 - STS-70 - Flickers, Northern and New (TDRS-G deploy) Oct 29, 2021
    Show notes

    On STS-70 it's time to complete the TDRSS constellation! Or at least the first generation. We'll also resist putting fish eggs on crackers, buy some decoy owls, and wonder why so many people from Ohio are trying to escape Earth.

    144 - NASA-1 - Comrades and Cognac (Thagard on Mir) Oct 15, 2021
    Show notes

    Norm Thagard is about to become America's first Cosmonaut. What challenges will he encounter during his four months on the Russian space station Mir? And why are they bringing so much juice?

    143 - STS-71 - Reunion (First Shuttle-Mir Docking) Sep 30, 2021
    Show notes

    Twenty years after the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, four years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and around a hundred days after the launch of Norm Thagard, it's time to finally see a space shuttle dock with Mir.

    142 - STS-67 - A Little More of the Ol' Ultraviolet Sep 16, 2021
    Show notes

    ASTRO-1 was a huge success, shining new light (more or less literally) on the universe with its ultraviolet observatory. But that was almost 30 flights ago. It's time for the new and improved ASTRO-2 to see what's out there. We'll also answer that question I'm sure everyone was wondering: which moon is ugliest?

    141 - STS-63 - Near Mir Sep 02, 2021
    Show notes

    After all this talk about the Russian space station Mir, how about we take a close up look for ourselves? A REALLY close look.

    140 - STS-66 - Ascending with Atlantis (ATLAS-3) Aug 19, 2021
    Show notes

    On STS-66 we welcome Atlantis back from its long maintenance period, further probe the upper atmosphere, test out a new rendezvous technique, and discover what is perhaps the worst payload name of all time.

    139 - STS-68 - Deja Vu and Big Kaboom (SRL-2) Aug 05, 2021
    Show notes

    No, it's not a glitch in the Matrix, we're flying the same experiment on the same shuttle! Don't worry, we still find plenty to say. Oh, and Jupiter's about to explode, so that's pretty cool.
