In the wake of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union set off on the great space race, competing to see which super power could put the first human in space and eventually land them on the Moon. As historian John Strausbaugh writes, that race should have been over before it even started. Strausbaugh's new book, The Wrong Stuff: How the Soviet Space Program Crashed and Burned, is a harrowing and frequently hilarious account of how political leaders and engineers slapped together a space program with little apparent concern for the lives of the cosmonauts they hurled into Earth's orbit. Moscow blustered about the size of its rockets and the triumph of its space pioneers. But that patriotic rhetoric hid the true nature of a program that was harried and haphazard, and whose leaders weren't quite sure how to return their pilots to Earth after launching them into space. The Soviet space program stands in stark contrast, Strausbaugh told Shane Harris, to the methodical and comparatively risk-averse NASA program, which eventually overtook its rival.

July 26, 2022 ~ Jerry Linenger, Former NASA Astronaut, talks with Guy Gordon about Russia saying they'll pull out of the International Space Station and build their own outpost.
Jerry Linenger's long duration mission on Mir was so jam-packed that I had to break it up into two parts! In Part 1, we'll heed some lessons from John Blaha, learn where to find extra photographic film, and light some candles during dinner. http://thespaceabove.us http://twitter.com/SpaceAboveUs http://patreon.com/TheSpaceAboveUs
On STS-81 we'll deliver Jerry Linenger to his new home for the next few months, return John Blaha to Earth, and transfer a few tons of equipment while we're at it. Along the way we'll go for a run, admire a previous crew's DIY fix, and toss some meat and cheese around the Mir base block. Just don't get lost on the way from the orbiter! http://thespaceabove.us http://twitter.com/SpaceAboveUs http://patreon.com/TheSpaceAboveUs

On today's Apple Seed Extra, a tune about the power of stories. It's called "One of a Million Stars," and it was written and performed by our host, Sam Payne. We believe that the sharing of stories with the people you love can come back to save you when you need the light of a story on a dark night. The song was partly inspired by an interview here on the show with Jerry Linenger, the American Astronaut who spent some months aboard the space station Mir, and used his time in orbit to share stories, memories, and thoughts in letters to his two-year-old son back on Earth.

Welcome to the first episode of a 2-part “Best of BUCKiT® with Phil Keoghan” podcast. Over the last year, “BUCKiT” has been a place for mavericks, innovators, and disruptors. Those who have swerved off the predictable road and epitomize what it means to “tick it before you kick it.” In this episode, we will take a look back at those who have turned obstacles into opportunities, defied insurmountable odds, broken stereotypes, achieved seemingly impossible physical feats, and even cheated death. My guests also share some words of wisdom, in addition to giving tips for taking life by the horns and applying the “BUCKiT” mentality to any situation. In this episode, we revisit some of the most memorable moments with guests like Jerry Linenger, a retired Captain in the United States Navy Medical Corps who survived a fire in space. Paul de Gelder, an Australian Navy diver turned TV host who fought a battle for his life against a 600-pound Bull Shark. Sarah Reinertsen, whose leg was amputated when she was 7-years-old but never slowed down and would go on to complete the Kona Ironman competition. Fitness icon, model, bestselling author, and former professional beach volleyball player Gabrielle Reece who believes there is only one way to deal with adversity…head on. Thandiwe Mweetwa, who draws inspiration from the memory of her parents to fuel her fight for big-cat conservation. Mae Jemison - physicist, engineer, and physician - who was the first African American woman in space. Leland Melvin, who holds the distinction of being the only former NFL football player turned NASA astronaut. “21st-Century Indiana Jones” Albert Lin, a National Geographic Explorer whose many journeys include a search for the hidden tomb of Genghis Khan. Peggy Oki, the only female member of the original “Z-Boys” Zephyr Competition Skateboarding Team, whose greatest passion is whale and dolphin conservation. Laird Hamilton, the world’s most famous big wave surfer and the co-inventor of “tow-in-surfing.” And the man who refused to be anyone but himself, Sal Masekela, who is the voice of extreme sports and covers everything from NBC’s Red Bull Signature Series to ESPN’s Summer and Winter X Games.
Have you ever wondered how to become an astronaut? Curious as to what it’s like to live in space in a space station? What would you do if a fire broke out on board? Well, Captain Jerry Linenger will tell you all about it, plus his “secret” for being selected to become an astronaut in this riveting episode. Jerry is one of the most down to earth astronauts you could ever hope to meet (pun intended). Jerry was part of one of the most dangerous and dramatic missions in space history. While living aboard the space station, Jerry and his two Russian crewmembers faced numerous difficulties: the most severe fire ever aboard an orbiting spacecraft, failures of onboard systems, a near collision with a resupply cargo ship during a manual docking system test, loss of station electrical power, and loss of attitude control resulting in a slow, uncontrolled "tumble" through space. Any one of these would have paralyzed me. In spite of these challenges and added demands on him and his two Russian crewmates, they still accomplished all the mission goals of a spacewalk, fly around, and all of the planned U.S. science experiments. In completing the nearly five-month mission, Jerry logged approximately 50 million miles (the equivalent of over 110 round trips to the Moon and back), more than 2,000 orbits around the Earth, and traveled at an average speed of 18,000 miles per hour. Jerry’s been awarded numerous commendations and medals, was a top graduate from the Naval Flight Surgeon Training and Naval Safety Officer's School, and was awarded a Gold Medal from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. He also is a recipient of NASA's highest honor, the Distinguished Service Medal. He’s authored two books, “Off The Planet: Surviving Five Perilous Months Aboard The Space Station MIR” and “Letters from MIR: An Astronaut's Letters to His Son.” Most recently completed an episode on National Geographic’s new “One Strange Rock” series hosted by Will Smith and produced by acclaimed filmmaker Darren Aronofsky and award-winning producer Jane Root. Before One Strange Rock, his story was an episode of Secret Space Escapes. He’s the proud father of four, and perhaps one of his greatest honors is to have been immortalized in his hometown McDonalds. Jerry is an inspiration to us all and great example of how to live your life in full—whether on earth or not.
Astronaut Jerry Linenger is a retired Captain in the United States Navy Medical Corps who has spent 143 Days in space, most of this aboard the Russian Space Station “Mir”. During this time, he logged the equivalent distance of more than 110 round trips to the moon and back. It’s a miracle that Jerry, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by NASA, is alive today after the terrifying events that happened just 6 weeks into his stay on the famously flammable space station orbiting earth. Jerry shares an astronaut’s perspective on living your best life, the Earth, and the importance of setting goals.

You don’t get to meet an astronaut everyday. They’re really special people who beat terrific odds (less than 1%) to get where they are. So what an honor it is to have Astronaut Jerry Linenger on the podcast. He was sent on some of the most dangerous and historical space missions of all time. Jerry has faced mechanical malfunctions, fires and system failures all while in space. While you might not have to put out a space fire this week, we all have faced extreme pressures before. The principles Jerry used to accomplish his missions won’t only work for him. They’ll help you bring a stronger sense of purpose to your business, too — no matter what the odds are. http://buildingastorybrand.com/74
