Show Notes
Back in the 1980s, TV and films promised us everything from jetpacks to flying cars and holidays in space - so what happened to those Space Age dreams?
Join space journalist and author, Sarah Cruddas and broadcaster Luke Moore as we answer those questions on Where's My Jetpack? Each episode, we look into a different piece of retrofuturistic technology that never was, to find out if these brilliant inventions are still just science fiction or, by looking in the right places, may be just around the corner.
Subscribe now and join us for our first episode, Where's My: Jetpack? on Thursday 24th Feb. New episodes released every Thursday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sarah and Luke return for the final episode of the series, as we search for a home beyond Earth.
Today, we tackle the definitive science fiction question of our time: are we alone?
It seems to be the doomed plot of every disaster movie in space, but it's so much more than that: today, we're off searching for the fuel of the future.
Decades of retrofuturustic dreaming, now Elon Musk and NASA: visiting Mars has always seemed just of our reach. But how far away is humans' first visit?
Sometimes, scientific discovery can just be for the sheer fun of it. Other times, it may well define the future of our species: today's episode focuses on the latter.
