We celebrate the 40th anniversary of the flight of the first black astronaut, Gui Bluford and speak to Diego Hurtado de Mendoza and Lisa Cortes, directors of The Space Race, which tells the story of the men who should have become astronauts in the 1960s – Ed Dwight and Bob Lawrence. Also, India's landing on the Moon and the demise of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Aeolus satellite in music. Plus, ever wondered how to pronounce Space Boffins in Persian?
