Chris Carberry is the author of 2 books, one of which will be released as a film this summer. He has interviewed many astronauts and is a long time part of the space community. He is the director of Explore Mars, a tax exempt organization. In addition to discussing space policy and current issues, we also focus on the spices of life. What's the history of booze in space? Yes, alcohol has been imbibed in space. Private businesses and related industries are exploring research in space surrounding agricultural aspects to designer fermentations.
