In this week's episode, Jack talks to Doug Millard, Curator of the Space Exhibit at the London Science Museum. The pair talk about Doug's job, his favourite 'out of this world' object in the collection, as well as the future of spacecraft and how they could be greener; whether we will eventually holiday in space and the wackiest of activities that have taken place on the International Space Station to date. They talk about the International Space Station coming down and what it will be replaced with, whether Doug will have a chance of salvaging any of the existing one currently in orbit and the two ponder ideas for cleaning up floating rubbish in space and what do astronauts actually do if they have an itchy nose whilst having a walk on the moon!

In this week's show we answer three questions from Leo, Dragon and Cecily with help from special guest experts Professor Schmitt and Doug Millard from the Science Museum in London. Professor Schmitt is a world expert on skateboards and has been making them for decades - he gives us the low down on how they were invented. Doug Millard looks after the airplane collection at the Science Museum in London and chats hoverboards. We find out why crabs walk sideways, as well as what the biggest crabs on land and sea are – there's one that is as wide as a giraffe is tall!We delve into the history of skateboards and talk about the man who crossed the Channel on a hoverboard.

Bearded, profoundly deaf and somewhat eccentric, Tsiolkovsky's theoretical work means he is, for many, the "father of space travel". He died in 1935, and so never saw his research come to fruition. To discuss Tsiolkovsky's life and achievements, Matthew Parris is joined by Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at Oxford and author of the international best-seller, The Silk Roads: A New History of the World. Matthew's other guest is Doug Millard, Curator of Space Technology at the Science Museum. Producer: Chris Ledgard
Space Boffins Sue Nelson and Richard Hollingham talk Mars rovers, Russian lunar rovers and floating number twos during this month's podcast. Europe's ExoMars mission scientist Nicholas Thomas reveals the role an alcoholic drink played in the naming of one of the Trace Gas Orbiter's key science instruments (as well as what it does of course) while NASA scientist John Grant reveals how some Mars rovers just keep on going and that maybe ideas of canals on the Martian surface weren't so far fetched after all. London science museum space curator Doug Millard also features discussing Luna 9 and,... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists
