Space Historian, Dwight Steven-Boniecki, joins us for a discussion on "space junk" and what happens to the capsules, space stations, and satellites after they've been used. Plus, imagine a future where tech is sustainable and accessible for all. We talk to Kelly Bergeron, Co-Founder of Poptronic, a hardware-rental service that is aiming to do just that. Also, the GEDI mission (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation) has provided the first 3D map of the world's forest. Laura Duncanson, a research scientist on the team joins us with details on why this is important and worth extending the mission. In Socially Speaking, we talk about a dating app that only wants you to swipe right — politically that is.

https://youtu.be/m88counOsnA Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain )Special Guest: This week we are airing Fraser's pre-recorded interview with award-winning author, and documentary director Dwight Steven-Boniecki. Dwight is the director of a film called Searching For Skylab - a largely forgotten story that tells the story of the space station that preceded the ISS. The documentary features never-before-seen footage revealing incredible feats of science and technology achieved by the space station and NASA astronauts. While Skylab is perhaps best remembered for its spectacular crash into the Australian desert in the summer of 1979, the missions themselves provided the scientific community with invaluable information about our planet, the sun, space, and the universe itself.   Dwight was born in Sydney, Australia in 1969 a few months before man walked on the moon. He spent much of his childhood fascinated with space exploration - growing up in the shadow of Apollo and under the direct influence of science fiction films such as Star Wars. The latter shaping his desire to work in the film/television industry.   After studying television theory at North Sydney Technical College he moved to San Diego, USA. He returned to Australia and worked in TV before heading back to university where he majored in Psychology. Following his studies he decided that television was where he truly wanted to be and returned to the TV industry. From there he heard about the expansion on satellite TV in Eastern Europe and jumped on a plane to work in Europe: first in Great Britain, and then in Germany - where he still works today as a transmission engineer.   All the while, his interest in space exploration never left him. The advance of DVDs and the internet saw him revisiting the missions he recalled watching as a young child. While watching the missions again, he began to wonder about the technology behind the images he was watching, and so he began researching the television systems developed by NASA mainly to satisfy his own curiosity. To his dismay he discovered that while the information was available, it was not easy to access, and had never been comprehensively written about. He set about to change that, and ended up writing his first book, "Live TV From the Moon". Along the way he befriended many of the people who were directly involved in building the TV cameras which transmitted arguably the most important television signals ever received on planet earth - and is proud to have been able to tell their story.   Learn all about Searching for Skylab on the project's webpage (https://searchingforskylab.com/) where you can watch trailers as well as purchase your own copy of the movie and other memorabilia.

Dwight Steven-Boniecki is an Australian transmission controller, writer, and film maker living in Cologne, Germany. He explains how he ended up in Germany and he shares his advice for expats (it has to do with dealing with the German authorities). He also has a tip for job seekers in Germany: request a straight vodka from the interviewers at the end. Plus: the world premier of a song Dwight co-wrote, called “Who Threw That Rock”, which may or may not be the greatest song ever written.Shaun also rounds up some other topics that might be of interest to expats: there are proposals to increase the already-too-expensive Rundfunktbeitrag, the FIFA Women’s World Cup starts soon, and E-Scooters may now utilize bicycle paths and streets.

The Skylab launch was pretty textbook...right up until a micrometeroid shield erroneously opened. The shield was damaged, a solar array was ripped off, and another was damaged. Essentially, NASA had just launched a dud into orbit, and they had 11 days to fix it. Writer and director Dwight Steven-Boniecki tells the story of how NASA scrambled to save Skylab. He also gives his opinion on the Skylab mutiny stories. Plus: some news about the Searching For Skylab movie.

In the first episode of the Searching For Skylab podcast, meet Dwight Steven-Boniecki, who just released the first full-length documentary about Skylab. We discuss why he made the movie, how he came to be such a Skylab nerd, and why Skylab has largely been forgotten. Visit the movie's Website: www.searchingforskylab.com

Co-hosts Eleanor and Emily take a break from the regular episodes to present outtakes from an interview with Skylab mission expert, Dwight Steven-Boniecki, including a variety of fascinating and sometimes hilarious anecdotes that did not make it into the pilot episode.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Dwight Steven-Boniecki was born in Sydney, Australia in 1969, a few months before man walked on the moon. He spent much of his childhood fascinated with space exploration - growing up in the shadow of Apollo and under the direct influence of science fiction films such as Star Wars. The latter shaped his desire to work in the film/television industry.Having worked in the television industry in Australia, the United States, Great Britain and Germany for nearly 25 years, Dwight's professional qualifications helped to complement his understanding of the pioneering television achievements of the U.S. space program. Initially to satisfy his own curiosity, Dwight combined his professional background with his interest in spaceflight and researched the television systems developed by NASA. To his dismay, he discovered that while the information was available, it was not easy to access, and had never been comprehensively written about. He set about to change that, and ended up writing the award-winning book, "Live TV From the Moon" as well as “Live TV From Orbit.”More recently, Dwight completed "Searching for Skylab", the first feature-length documentary about NASA's Skylab Project. This work was also inspired from his fascination with spaceflight, coupled with his fear that Skylab would reenter the atmosphere and crash into his childhood home in Australia! The film will be premiering at the US Space And Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL in February, 2019.Here's a teaser: "Searching for Skylab"
