Každý vie, že prvým človekom vo vesmíre bol sovietsky kozmonaut Jurij Gagarin. Ako však na rané úspechy sovietskej kozmonautiky zareagovali Spojené štáty americké? O tejto téme sa rozprávajú spolupracovník Postoja Michal Novota a redaktor Lukáš Krivošík. Druhým človekom vo vesmíre a prvým Američanom bol Alan Shepard. Zaujímavou osobnosťou amerického vesmírneho programu bol aj astronaut John Glenn. Pred historickou časťou sa však diskutujúci dotknú aj aktuálnych udalostí vo výskume vesmíru. Sonda Venera nakoniec bezpečne dopadla do Indického oceánu; Európsky satelit Biomass má sledovať z obežnej dráhy lesy na Zemi; Donald Trump chce osekať rozpočet NASA - ktoré výskumné projekty to ovplyvní?; A pozrieme si nádherné zábery telesa W-3 ako prechádza zemskou atmosférou.
A lost golf ball was actually found on the moon! Back in 1971, astronaut Alan Shepard decided to take a swing while he was up there on Apollo 14. Talk about a cosmic tee-off! He used a makeshift club and sent that ball soaring into space, making history as the first person to play golf on the moon. The ball didn't just disappear into the lunar abyss—it was later spotted by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2009. So, next time you shank one into the rough, just remember, at least you're not retrieving your ball from another planet! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

The important thing was that they survive. Men were needed who'd be able to explore the surface once the ship landed. Trainee for Mars by Harry Harrison. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Special thanks to "Tony from the future" who bought us 20 coffees. Tony had this to say, “Just found this podcast and am addicted.

As a 60+ year old these are the types of stories I craved as I grew up. I'm so happy to be able to support your efforts. I would like to make a recommendation. Since I know you like uncommon authors and also support female writers, please look into Zenna Henderson.”Thank you Tony from the future for your generous support and please make sure you get some sleep. I had never heard of Zenna Henderson but there is at least one story that she wrote that is in the public domain.

His story The Stainless Steel Rat remains one of the most listened-to episodes on our podcast.Today's tale first appeared in Fantastic Universe in June 1958, accompanied by this note from the magazine: “We seem so close to Space Flight that we've been afraid, these last weeks, that history might catch up with us and make Harry Harrison's exciting story dated. There is that danger, these days.”As it turned out, history took a little longer—nearly three years later, on May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space, piloting Freedom 7 for 15 minutes and 28 seconds.Open the pages of Fantastic Universe to page 4, Trainee for Mars by Harry Harrison…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, To those who were the goggle of Dr. Dragonet there is another world–of mystery, joy and, yes, terror… The Goggles of Dr. Dragonet by Fritz Leiber.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV===========================Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcastTwitter - https://x.com/LostSciFiPod=========================== ❤️ ❤️ Thanks to All Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee$200 Someone$100 Tony From the Future$75 James Van Maanenberg$50 Anonymous Listener$25 Someone, Eaten by a Grue, Jeff Lussenden, Fred Sieber, Anne, Craig Hamilton, Dave Wiseman, Bromite Thrip, Marwin de Haan, Future Space Engineer, Fressie, Kevin Eckert, Stephen Kagan, James Van Maanenberg, Irma Stolfo, Josh Jennings, Leber8tr, Conrad Chaffee, Anonymous Listener$15 Someone, Carolyn Guthleben, Patrick McLendon, Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener$10 Anonymous Listener$5 Timothy Buckley, Andre'a, Martin Brown, Ron McFarlan, Tif Love, Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous Listener Hosted on Acast.

Before Yuri Gagarin, before Alan Shepard… a chimp called Ham was blasted into space for six-and-a-half minutes of weightlessness on 31st January, 1961. He successfully returned to Earth without serious physical injury, albeit over 100 miles away from NASA's intended splashdown location. Travelling at 5,857 m.p.h, Ham was seated in a special chair called a ‘biopack', which administered electric shocks to the soles of his feet if he failed to complete basic tasks in orbit. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how Ham's schooling had striking parallels with the training undertaken by human astronauts; reveal just how much of him is actually ‘buried' at the International Space Hall of Fame; and explain the fate of the SECOND chimp in space, Enos, who wasn't quite so lucky… CONTENT WARNING: animal cruelty, animal experimentation and dissection Further Reading: • Meet Ham The Chimp, The Animal Astronaut Who Changed History (All That's Interesting, 2021): https://allthatsinteresting.com/ham-the-chimp • ‘Ham the astrochimp: hero or victim?'

On Wednesday's show: We recap the start of the Texas Legislative session, discuss Trump cabinet confirmation hearings, and other developments in political in our regular Wednesday roundup.Also this hour: The COVID 19 pandemic revealed the size of America's digital divide -- the gap between people who can access and use digital technology and those who can't. In the years since, have we managed to bridge that gap in Houston?And we revisit a recent conversation about a new book examining whether a particular golf ball was ever on the moon with astronaut Alan Shepard, who famously hit a couple of golf balls on the lunar surface. But, more importantly, it tells the story of the friendship between Shepard and his barber, Carlos Villagomez, to whom he gave the golf ball after returning to earth. A discussion of the book and a screening of a related documentary will be held on Saturday at the Lone Star Flight Museum.
Jerry Scott is the COO of the Lone Star Flight Museum & Director of flight operations. He introduces us to Barbara Radnofsky and Ed Supkis who are the authors of “The Astronaut, the Barber and the Golf Ball” which looks into the msytery of the third golf ball that the legendary Alan Shepard took to moon. He did it for his friend Carlos – or did he? It's an awesome NASA story full of insight into the Houston community that built NASA. Barbara and Ed are speaking at the museum on January 16th: www.lonestarflight.org
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling for interparty unity in the face of Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. But it didn't take long for the Liberal-Conservative divisions to appear. So is it still realistic to talk about Team Canada? Two Ottawa bureau chiefs weigh in on Canada's attempt to show a united front against the incoming U.S. president.Next, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly joins Catherine Cullen to discuss Canada's new Arctic foreign policy, the crisis in the Middle East and whether there's a way to stop Trump's tariff threat before the president-elect takes office in January.Then, representatives and experts of Canadian universities and colleges explain how the federal government's dramatic cut in international student visas will affect their institutions, including whether they need to shave programs. Minister of Immigration Marc Miller and Ontario Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy also share their thoughts on who's to blame for the funding crisis facing Canadian post-secondary institutions.This episode features the voices of:Tonda MacCharles, Ottawa bureau chief for the Toronto StarStuart Thomson, parliamentary bureau chief for the National PostMélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign AffairsMeti Basiri, CEO and co-founder of ApplyBoardAlan Shepard, president of Western UniversityPari Johnston, president and CEO of Colleges and Institutes CanadaMarc Miller, Minister of ImmigrationPeter Bethlenfalvy, Ontario Minister of Finance
Project Mercury was NASA's first attempt at human crewed space flight. It sent Alan Shepard into space, and John Glenn into orbit, among four other landmark flights over 5 years. By 1963 it was done, and NASA was ready to launch Gemini, its next project. But being such a groundbreaking project, in 1964 NASA paid tribute to Mercury with a four metre high stainless steel monument with a time capsule that would remain sealed beneath it until the year 2464, five centuries later. What was so significant about Mercury? And what's inside this time capsule? We could wait another 440 years, or just listen!Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on X for some special content X.com/CosmicCoffTimeYou can request a topic for the show!

We find out why and dive a little deeper into the study's findings.Also this hour: A new book examines whether a particular golf ball was ever on the moon with astronaut Alan Shepard, who famously hit a couple of golf balls on the lunar surface. But, more importantly, it tells the story of the friendship between Shepard and his barber, Carlos Villagomez, to whom he gave the golf ball after returning to earth.Then, with the world's largest steam locomotive, Big Boy No. 4014, on public display in Houston Oct. 6-7, we learn a little about Houston's train history.And we learn about the reopening of the River Oaks Theatre this week.

Apollo 14 launched on January 31, 1971. Five days later Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell walked on the Moon while Stuart Roosa, a former US Forest Service smoke jumper, orbited above in the command module. Packed in small containers in Roosa's personal kit were hundreds of tree seeds, part of a joint NASA/USFS project. Upon return to Earth, the seeds were germinated by the Forest Service. Known as the "Moon Trees", the resulting seedlings were planted throughout the United States and the world. NASA Space Science Data Coordinated Archive Lead Dave Williams has made it his pet project to find out what happened to the Moon Trees. You can find out more about the Moon trees on the NASA website.

Steve Schmidt used to offer candidates some advice before they headed into the debate arena and it was the same words the astronaut Alan Shepard was caught saying before blasting into space: "Dear Lord, please don't let me f@#* this up." Biden should utter that prayer before Thursday's debate and he should hit Trump hard. Plus, all of Trump's endorsements lost their races this week except Lauren Boebert, who recently apologized for her sexual behavior at a "Beetlejuice" performance. What does she, Corey Lewandowski, and puppy killer Kristi Noem have in common? They all still worship the convicted felon, Donald Trump.

Am 12. April 1961 bricht der Kosmonaut Juri Gagarin zum ersten bemannten Weltraumflug auf. Der Wettlauf ins Weltall ist damit entschieden und endet für die USA und die NASA mit einer weiteren Niederlage. Fast wäre Alan Shepard aus dem Mercury-Programm vor Gagarin ins All geflogen, wäre da nicht der Testflug mit dem Schimpansen Ham gewesen. Wir sprechen in der Folge über das „Space Race“ zwischen den USA und der Sowjetunion, den Weg Juri Gagarins in den Orbit und wie das zur Mondmission der NASA führte. // Literatur - Stephen Walker, Ins All: Die faszinierende Geschichte vom ersten Flug in den Weltraum. - BBC-Podcast „13 Minutes to the Moon“ Das Episodenbild zeigt den Schimpansen Ham vor seinem Flug ins Weltall am 31.

A lost golf ball was actually found on the moon! Back in 1971, astronaut Alan Shepard decided to take a swing while he was up there on Apollo 14. Talk about a cosmic tee-off! He used a makeshift club and sent that ball soaring into space, making history as the first person to play golf on the moon. The ball didn't just disappear into the lunar abyss—it was later spotted by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2009. So, next time you shank one into the rough, just remember, at least you're not retrieving your ball from another planet! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

fWotD Episode 2531: Mercury Seven Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Tuesday, 9 April 2024 is Mercury Seven.The Mercury Seven were the group of seven astronauts selected to fly spacecraft for Project Mercury. They are also referred to as the Original Seven and Astronaut Group 1. Their names were publicly announced by NASA on April 9, 1959; these seven original American astronauts were Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard, and Deke Slayton. The Mercury Seven created a new profession in the United States, and established the image of the American astronaut for decades to come.All of the Mercury Seven eventually flew in space. They piloted the six spaceflights of the Mercury program that had an astronaut on board from May 1961 to May 1963, and members of the group flew on all of the NASA human spaceflight programs of the 20th century – Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and the Space Shuttle.Shepard became the first American to enter space in 1961, and walked on the Moon on Apollo 14 in 1971. Grissom flew the first crewed Gemini mission in 1965, but died in 1967 in the Apollo 1 fire; the others all survived past retirement from service. Schirra flew Apollo 7 in 1968, the first crewed Apollo mission, in Grissom's place. Slayton, grounded with an atrial fibrillation, ultimately flew on the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project in 1975. The first American in orbit in 1962, Glenn flew on the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998 to become, at age 77, the oldest person to fly in space at the time. He was the last living member of the Mercury Seven when he died in 2016 at age 95.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:33 UTC on Tuesday, 9 April 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Mercury Seven on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Matthew Neural.

Natürlich flog der Ball sehr weit, am 6. Februar 1971, als ihn der Astronaut Alan Shepard mit seinem Golfschläger richtig erwischt hatte. Er flog ja auch auf dem Mond. Den Schlägerkopf brachte Alan Shepard zurück zur Erde. Die Golfbälle jedoch liegen wohl immer noch irgendwo im Mondstaub.
MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Nov 18th Publish Date: Nov 17th Commercial: Henssler :15 From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Saturday, November 18th and Happy Birthday to Alan Shepard. ***MERCURY LAUNCH*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia. GBI IDs Cobb man shot by police Wednesday 'It's Major League': The Extension Opens New $7 Million Facility False Code Red at East Cobb Middle Due to 'Human Error' All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: GBI IDs Cobb man shot by police Wednesday The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has identified Peter Luna-Lopez, 26, as the man fatally shot by police in Cobb County. The incident occurred during a traffic stop related to an ongoing drug investigation. Luna-Lopez, armed and a subject of the probe, fled the stop, prompting an officer to use her patrol car to force his vehicle off the road. Subsequently, officers approached Luna-Lopez's truck and shot into it, causing his death. He was found with a handgun. The Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office is conducting an autopsy, and the GBI's investigation will be reviewed by the Cobb District Attorney's Office upon completion. STORY 2: 'It's Major League': The Extension Opens New $7 Million Facility The Tyler A. Driver Center, a new $7 million facility, has been officially opened by The Extension Rehabilitation Center in Marietta. The center, located on Church Street Extension near Kennestone Hospital, accommodates 52 men and replaces a smaller building on the same site. The facility, providing long-term residential treatment for homeless and addicted individuals, increases capacity by 70%. With dedicated therapy rooms and offices for counselors, it offers improved amenities. Funded mainly by private donors, the center aims to address substance abuse issues and contribute to community balance. Cobb County District Attorney Flynn Broady Jr. emphasized the program's role in rehabilitating individuals with substance abuse problems involved in the criminal justice system. STORY 3: False Code Red at East Cobb Middle Due to 'Human Error' A false code red alarm at East Cobb Middle School this week was attributed to human error, as stated by the Cobb County School District. A staff member triggered the alarm, but there was no actual threat, and normal operations resumed swiftly. This incident follows previous false alarms in the district since implementing the Centegix crisis alert system. The system utilizes badges for staff to rapidly alert law enforcement in case of an attack. Safety remains a priority in the district, with Superintendent Chris Ragsdale emphasizing the normalization of red alert drills to become as routine as fire drills, as mandated by state law.

We'll be right back Break: ESOG – ELON – DAYCO STORY 4: MLB All-Star Game Coming to Truist Park in 2025 Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced that Cobb County's Truist Park will host the MLB All-Star Game in 2025. This will be the 95th Midsummer Classic, the first at Truist Park, and the third in Atlanta. The decision follows the controversy surrounding the relocation of the 2021 All-Star Game from Truist Park to Coors Field in Colorado due to Georgia's voting law, Senate Bill 202. The move resulted in a political dispute between Democrats and Republicans. The 2025 All-Star Game at Truist Park is seen as a positive development for the Braves and the community, with expectations of creating memorable experiences and economic benefits. STORY 5: Marietta Dentist Provides Free Treatment for Rehab Residents Residents of The Extension Rehabilitation Center's recovery program in Marietta received free dental cleanings, boosting their confidence and overall health. Envision Dental Marietta, led by dentist Priyanka Seekand, provided dental hygiene cleanings for 18 participants, addressing a significant need for various dental treatments. Seekand expressed passion for holistic patient care and viewed the event as a starting point to enhance residents' health. The cleanings not only contribute to improved health but also boost residents' self-esteem. Seekand aims to make this initiative an annual event for The Extension, emphasizing the positive impact on the community and the organization. Tyler Driver, the executive director of The Extension, commended Seekand and her staff for their community-oriented work. We'll be back in a moment Break: TEDS - DRAKE – INGLES 6 STORY 6: Commission OKs bus vouchers and funds for MUST Ministries Warming Shelter The Cobb Board of Commissioners approved a $108,000 agreement with MUST Ministries to support its Hope House homeless shelter during cold weather. The funding will cover expenses like cleaning supplies, security, staff, food, and transportation for families when the temperature is 35 degrees or lower. Commissioner Keli Gambrill opposed the agreement, expressing concerns about guaranteeing funding in advance and the perceived singling out of MUST Ministries. The county aims to serve a broader population beyond those with limited transportation options provided by MUST Ministries. Gambrill drew parallels to the equitable distribution of COVID relief funds under the American Rescue Plan Act. STORY 7: Kennesaw State School of Art and Design Students to Offer Inaugural Holiday Artist Market Students from Kennesaw State University's School of Art and Design are hosting the inaugural Holiday Artist Market on December 1 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Visual Arts Building on the Kennesaw campus.

fWotD Episode 2388: Alan Shepard.Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Saturday, 18 November 2023 is Alan Shepard.Alan Bartlett Shepard Jr. (November 18, 1923 – July 21, 1998) was an American astronaut, naval aviator, test pilot, and businessman. In 1961, he became the second person and the first American to travel into space and, in 1971, he became the fifth and oldest person to walk on the Moon, at age 47.A graduate of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Shepard saw action with the surface navy during World War II. He became a naval aviator in 1947, and a test pilot in 1950. He was selected as one of the original NASA Mercury Seven astronauts in 1959, and in May 1961 he made the first crewed Project Mercury flight, Mercury-Redstone 3, in a spacecraft he named Freedom 7. His craft entered space, but was not capable of achieving orbit. He became the second person, and the first American, to travel into space. In the final stages of Project Mercury, Shepard was scheduled to pilot the Mercury-Atlas 10 (MA-10), which was planned as a three-day mission. He named Mercury Spacecraft 15B Freedom 7 II in honor of his first spacecraft, but the mission was canceled.Shepard was designated as the commander of the first crewed Project Gemini mission, but was grounded in October 1963 due to Ménière's disease, an inner-ear ailment that caused episodes of extreme dizziness and nausea. This was surgically corrected in 1968, and in 1971, Shepard commanded the Apollo 14 mission, piloting the Apollo Lunar Module Antares. He was the only one of the Mercury Seven astronauts to walk on the Moon. During the mission, he hit two golf balls on the lunar surface.Shepard was Chief of the Astronaut Office from November 1963 to August 1969 (the approximate period of his grounding), and from June 1971 until April 30, 1974. On August 25, 1971, he was promoted to rear admiral, the first astronaut to reach that rank. He retired from the United States Navy and NASA on July 31, 1974.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:29 UTC on Saturday, 18 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Alan Shepard on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Raveena Standard.

“The idea was to prove at every foot of the way up that you were one of the elected and anointed ones who had the right stuff and could move higher and higher and even—ultimately, God willing, one day—that you might be able to join that special few at the very top, that elite who had the capacity to bring tears to men's eyes, the very Brotherhood of the Right Stuff itself." Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! In this episode, we're covering The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe. Through vivid storytelling, Wolfe shares the world of the fearless pilots and astronauts who possessed the elusive "right stuff". The book provides an intimate look at their lives, the challenges they faced, and the profound impact they had on the history of space exploration. We cover a wide range of topics including: The evolution of the aerospace industry and its rapid growth How fighter pilots became pioneers in space exploration Compelling stories of astronauts and their intense training regimens The battle between NASA and the Air Force in the quest for space What it truly means to have 'The Right Stuff' And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

The book not only boasts a charismatic writing style, but also draws intriguing connections to a previous book we covered, Where Is My Flying Car? (3:40) We delve into the book's narrative flow, which initially spotlights fighter pilots and their rigorous training before transitioning into the captivating realm of the U.S. space program. From the early stages to the groundbreaking Project Mercury, the book highlights the personalities behind those who ventured into the unknown. (6:07) How astronaut requirements shifted from an open-door policy to a more selective process. Plus, we talk about the advancement in computing technology that made these audacious projects possible. (10:44) What once seemed impossible in the world of space exploration became possible in a short amount of time. There was also a shift from manual to automatic controls as the technology became more advanced. (12:57) What does it mean if you possess "The Right Stuff"? As we explore its application in the world of aviation, we draw parallels to other fields, such as sports. (15:24) Buckle up for some mindblowing facts and statistics on several high-speed aircrafts, including the SR71, Concorde, and X15. (19:12) Ever wondered what it feels like to approach the speed of sound in the transonic zone? There are many complexities when it comes to operating a high-speed aircraft like the Concorde. (22:40) How political dynamics influenced the approaches taken by NASA and the Air Force, from rocket models to plane models for space exploration. (29:13) The quest for space exploration has been marked by trial and error. (31:20) While there are very few remaining opportunities for land exploration on Earth, there is exciting potential for migration to other planets. (35:52) It can take between 7-14 months to reach Mars, not to mention the many dangers you may be facing along the way. (40:30) We talk about the connection between how you breathe and weight loss, as well as the importance of consistent airflow in your work and sleep environments. (43:40) Did you know The Right Stuff is also a movie? Make sure to check it out, especially if you are intrigued with this episode! (45:13) The training regimens for many of these missions were so intense that when the astonauts were actually on the flight, they were seemingly desensitized to the whole experience. (48:55) There was often tension between fighter pilots and test pilots, as well as discussions on whether becoming an astronaut would be harmful to a pilot's military career. (55:55) That wraps up this episode! Our next episode features Cândido Rondon, who you may remember from our episode on The River of Doubt. Stay tuned for that one!

A sense of humor helped the Apollo astronauts deal with the lunar darkness and utter isolation as they became the first to travel to another world.
The U.S. space program was launched, so to speak, in 1959, when the first seven Mercury astronauts were named. These pioneers laid the groundwork for the Gemini, Apollo, and space shuttle missions that would follow in coming years and decades. Among those seven was a 36-year-old test pilot named Wally Schirra. Over the next few years he would become a household name, along with those like John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, and Alan Shepard. Finally, in 1988, Schirra wrote his autobiography. And that's when I had a chance to meet him
On this episode of The Jacob Buehrer Show, I interview Laura who is the daughter of Alan Shepard the First American in Space and only human to golf on the moon. In 2021 Laura went to space on the Blue Origin New Shepard Rocket named after her dad. Listen to find out more about her mission and her father's space legacy

In Spring 1961, the Space Race between the US and Soviet Union was well underway. Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in Space in April and the Americans knew his achievement had to be matched. Alan Shepard was chosen as the man for the job. Jay Gallentine tells Don how we went from satellites, to dogs, then humans in space; as the competition outside Earth's atmosphere intensified between the US and the USSR. Produced and mixed by Benjie Guy. Senior Producer: Charlotte Long.

Before Yuri Gagarin, before Alan Shepard… a chimp called Ham was blasted into space for six-and-a-half minutes of weightlessness on 31st January, 1961. He successfully returned to Earth without serious physical injury, albeit over 100 miles away from NASA's intended splashdown location. Travelling at 5,857 m.p.h, Ham was seated in a special chair called a ‘biopack', which administered electric shocks to the soles of his feet if he failed to complete basic tasks in orbit. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how Ham's schooling had striking parallels with the training undertaken by human astronauts; reveal just how much of him is actually ‘buried' at the International Space Hall of Fame; and explain the fate of the SECOND chimp in space, Enos, who wasn't quite so lucky… CONTENT WARNING: animal cruelty, animal experimentation and dissection Further Reading: • Meet Ham The Chimp, The Animal Astronaut Who Changed History (All That's Interesting, 2021): https://allthatsinteresting.com/ham-the-chimp • ‘Ham the astrochimp: hero or victim?'

TVC 595.4: From October 2010: Actor Ron Masak (Murder, She Wrote, Ice Station Zebra, Harper Valley PTA, Second Effort) talks to Ed about the one-man show about Mark Twain that he wrote and starred in; his passion for baseball, including how Ron was offered a contract to play for the Chicago White Sox after being scouted by Major League Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby; and working with Patrick McGoohan in both Ice Station Zebra and Columbo. At the time we spoke to Ron, he had just released his memoirs, I've Met All My Heroes from A to Z, a heartfelt tribute to some of the many people from all walks of life that Ron met in his career who had an impact not only on his life, but the world in general—people such as Neil Armstrong, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Roy Campanella, Joe DiMaggio, Rock Hudson, Cary Grant, Audie Murphy, Angela Lansbury, Elvis Presley, Alan Shepard, John Wayne, NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi, legendary Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, country western artist Garth Brooks, and General Norman Schwartzkopf. Ron Masak passed away last Thursday, Oct. 20 at the age of eighty-six. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
