Customer Reviews
Binge worthy for space nerds
We live near JSC, our best friends work at JSC and we love all things space. We just found this podcast (after listening to Bill Whittle’s and Kevin Wong’s separate Apollo mission podcasts multiple times over) - so now when we find ourselves on a road trip, this is what we listen to!!
An awesome podcast for novice and expert alike!
I’ve been listening to this podcast and have enjoyed every episode. There is a great attention to needed details and obviously he has done his research. Whether you are just getting into space history or have been in it for a while, this podcast is for you!
Awesome
I learned about this from my dad, and it has become my new thing to do for road trips.
