Since the beginning of recorded history, Humankind has been fascinated by the nighttime sky, the vastness of space, and what wonders are out there just waiting to be discovered. Though this futile dream has lived for hundreds, if not thousands of years; it was not until the middle of the twentieth century that the goal finally grew within reach. And yet today, it has been all but completely forgot
ten. It is time we changed that. With this program, we explore the history of manned spaceflight, exploring the missions in detail. This doesn't mean we will bore you with numbers, range rates, and the like; but focus on the adventure itself, and the people involved. Our program airs every Friday, from 7pm to 9pm Eastern (4pm to 6pm Pacific) on SciMAX Radio. The program is broken up into two segments. For the first hour, the historical program, following the advancing timeline of events. In the second hour, we go live for roundtable discussion of the day's topic, and all things space. The program is constantly evolving, now including mission audio wherever applicable in the pre-recorded story segments, in addition to "This Week in Space History", and any current space and technology news. We also welcome any feedback on ways to further improve the program. All we want is to bring the history and potential of manned spaceflight back into public consciousness, and to help spark the imagination of as many people as we can. We firmly believe that the exploration of space is a great way to bring the world together. The more we look to the stars and dream,...
The less important our conflicts on Earth will seem.
