Spirit Of
SHOW #16
Space
As NASA celebrates its fiftieth anniversary, 'The Spirit of' takes a look at Space. In this program we will examine whether space exploration has progressed as quickly as possible and what we can expect in the future.
It will feature an exclusive interview with the world renowned scientist Stephen Hawking.
Part one of the show will include interviews with NASA Director Dr. Michael Griffin, Hubble expert Dr. Ed Weiler, and one of the first men on the moon, Buzz Aldrin. It will also include a report from CNN's Space Correspondent Miles O'Brien who has been training with the Hubble astronauts. Plus it will feature an interview with Owen and Richard Garriott. Owen was an astronaut and his son is about to complete his training in Moscow's Star City - prior to embarking on his first space flight.
In part two, we will focus on how Europe is faring in the Space Race. It will feature interviews with European Space Agency Director General, Jean-Jacques Dordain and with ESA's Director of Human Spaceflight and exploration, Ms. Simona di Pippo.
In the final part of the show we will be looking at space tourism through the vastly different eyes of two hopeful space tourists, the scientist Stephen Hawking and the actress Victoria Principal.
