MARCELO BRAZZI, an author from California, joined us to discuss his latest release, "The Liberal Record - How Liberals Changed the World". ​From His Amazon Page: "Over the past few decades the country has become highly divided politically. In the course of reporting current events, the concepts of conservative and liberal have become grossly distorted. At the top of a political agenda is the demonization of the opposition party. The true accomplishments and values have been suppressed. If this is not corrected, government will continue towards an abyss of dysfunction, disunity, and dissension. It is paramount that the US electorate is accurately and fully informed regarding the record of liberals and conservatives. Hence this book. The author was a Spacecraft Engineer on NASA's Apollo program and a Computer Science instructor at California State University. He holds a Master's degree in Systems Engineering from the University of California and has traveled extensively through Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Among his accomplishments, are ascending Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Everest, and photographing total solar eclipses around the world. Living on the beach in Southern California, he is involved in managing his real estate investments, writing, and spending time with his grown children and his grandsons."

David and Rachel discuss the tragic first manned mission of NASA's Apollo program.

While watching the Netflix documentary, Rocket Men, I was inspired. Not in the way you might think.  After learning the timeline of NASA's Apollo missions, I realized there is a major flaw in my own timeline for getting things accomplished.     In this episode I share the quick story of what inspired me to get back on track and change something in my life in the next 60 days. I'm challenging you to do the same in one area of your life.   What ONE thing can you change about your life in the next 60 days? Email your ONE thing to Scott@ImproveSelf.net for accountability and follow-up challenge questions.

A radio show inspired by NASA's Apollo 8 mission and the astronauts' season's greetings from Moon's orbit on Christmas Eve. By Thomas Gkouvinas (AstroTom) and Marina Rigou. Flash Radio 96.0 Original Air Date: 24.12.11

The biggest audience in TV history watch NASA's Apollo 8 mission beam back the first pictures from an orbit around the moon at Christmas 1968. The broadcast captured the world's imagination and put the Americans ahead of the Soviet Union in the Cold War battle to put the first men on the moon. Simon Watts talks to Apollo 8 commander, Frank Borman. Picture: The Earth as seen from the Moon, photographed by the Apollo 8 crew (NASA)

Lost Apollo. With the five-year mission finally underway, IDW's Star Trek Ongoing comics are set to deliver strange new worlds that harken back to the true flavor of The Original Series. Lost Apollo tells the story of an American astronaut from NASA's Apollo program who the Enterprise crew discovers on an alien world nearly 300 years after he lifted off from the moon. (Yes, from the moon… turns out NASA was up to more than the public knew.) In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones take you through the two-parter, penned by Mike Johnson with art by Erfan Fajar, and discuss how it captures the spirit of the original television series so well that it can almost be read as part of the Prime Universe, not just the Abramsverse. We also share our thoughts on the story, imagine the tourism campaign for this distant and colorful world, and try to avoid the details of what Captain Kirk and Carol Marcus are doing in the decon chamber. In our news segment we run down the 2015 Star Trek books release schedule, ponder why we aren't getting more dedicated Deep Space Nine novels, and take a sneak peak at Fun with Kirk and Spock.   News 2015 Star Trek Books Release Schedule (3:35) Sneak Peak at Fun with Kirk and Spock (21:08) Sponsor: Audible (26:43)   Feature: Lost Apollo Part 1 (29:53) Part 2 (50:06) Closing (1:08:57)
