    Planet Mars Conquers the Russians

    Russia's Mars 96 was one of the most advanced spacecraft of the 20th Century. Designed to be the first vessel to explore the Red Planet, its mission was to drill up to 20 feet below the surface in search for life. But beyond the (literally) groundbreaking science, Mars 96 had another purpose: Rescue the country's dying space program and prove to the West that the post-Soviet Russia was worth investing in. With the last of the struggling nation's resources pooled into this one mission, there's only one chance to make this work. Will it succeed? If this is your first time hearing about Mars 96, you might be able to guess the answer. Join us for this week's episode to find out how it all went wrong and what this mission's failure meant for the future of Russian's space program.

    The expansion of cable TV during the 70s and 80s in the United States included a new resource for communication and creativity: public access television. The programs the public created allowed for free expression without any sort of editorial control - which proved to be a difficult issue for some communities.Listen free: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or anywhere else.Lost Threads is independently produced by Cameron Ezell and Cory Munson.Visit us at lostthreads.org
