27 January 2025
Presented by Richard Hollingham, Sue Nelson.
Production by Richard Hollingham, Sue Nelson.
Space Boffins Sue Nelson and Richard Hollingham are joined by the BBC’s recently retired space correspondent, Jonathan Amos, and former NASA employee Herb Baker, author of From Apollo to Artemis: Stories from my 50 years with NASA. Between the two space veterans, we hear the reality of reporting from a rocket launch, what it’s like to grow up among classmates whose fathers are Apollo astronauts, and how the material used by Herb's mother to fix an aircon unit at home also helped her save a Skylab mission. Plus, Richard gets to see - in person - the Soviet era VA space capsule in the Manx Motor Museum on the Isle of Man...
