Show Notes
If you heard our full episode on 9 October, you have already had this one. This is the Man Cave with Dr Graham Wild on its own, for anyone who just wants the space talk.
Adam McDonald from Aussie Pickers still isn't convinced we went to the Moon, and the Van Allen radiation belts are his sticking point. So Luke brings in Dr Graham Wild, a senior lecturer in aviation science and technology at UNSW Canberra, to take him on.
Graham explains why NASA lost so much of its Apollo know-how, why nobody has landed there since 1972, and how a camera filmed Neil Armstrong's first step. Before that, he busts a Hollywood myth: a small hole in a plane won't suck you out. Plus air marshals, the Jetsons flying car we never got, and the G.I. Joe jet from Graham's childhood.
Guests: Dr Graham Wild, Adam McDonald
