Customer Reviews
Miss The Shuttle ? Listen here
Discovered this pod when I was looking for some background audio for when I built the LEGO Shuttle Discovery set with my daughter. It was great to listen and learn all about the history, politics, and curiosities of the early shuttle program. Love the mix of scientific details, astronaut biography stories, and little personal asides about the programs. For space fans and NASA nerds this is a must listen!
Incredible.
Thanks for taking your time to create this very informative series!
Great content
This podcast has awesome content and wish there were more like this. I only wish it was not read like an audiobook for kids but the author would free talk about this with notes and everything.
