Adventures in Space and Tim - Episode 4 Adventures in Space and Tim

Comedian and space enthusiast Helen Keen (creator of BBC Radio 4's multi-award-winning It Is Rocket Science) welcomes you to a podcast inspired by space travel in general and Tim Peake's mission to the International Space Station in particular.

In this episode - we go to the Royal Observatory Edinburgh to discover how particle accelerators could help you out in the airport security queue (1 min), predict the names of future cities on Mars with The Allusionist's Helen Zaltzman (6 mins), and listen in on magicians discussing the hoax that was the first British man in space - launched from Skegness in the 1950s (16mins 20 secs)... Really?
