The Space Above Us JP Burke

This podcast is a joy to listen to, and I’ve learned so much about the history of American space flight from it. I learned about it when JP, the show’s creator, happened to mention it in conversation on Reddit talking about shows with similar formats to Mike Duncan’s now-legendary History of Rome series: a long series of very short, digestible, mostly history-themed podcasts that were well researched and easy to listen to. It has quickly become a favorite, especially as I’ve finally been watching For All Mankind, an Apple show about an alternate history space program, and this pod has actually helped me understand a lot of the science that inspired that show. Thanks and i look forward to continued releases!

A must listen for any space flight fan. Thoroughly researched and enthusiastically presented. JP's love for these flights shine through. A highly entertaining listen.

I stumbled on this podcast as it was recommended when I looked up the best space podcasts. As an incoming aerospace engineering student I was looking to learn about the past of spaceflight and this is everything I could've hoped for and more. It has a wonderful balance of technical aspects and storytelling. I have listened to it on my drive to and from work and I can say without a doubt I've had a blast! And I've definitely learned interesting history to take with me as my studies begin. I cannot say enough positive things about this podcast, I'm just delighted to see it's still active today as new episodes are being added and the twitter is still updating. Ad astra
