Broadcast 759 (Special Edition)

Golden Oldie Program: Guest 1: Dr. Peter Diamandis from August 8, 2001. Guest 2: Elon Musk from Oct. 24, 2001. Both of these programs represent the first time Peter and Elon were guests on The Space Show (at the time, it was Business Without Boundaries). Again, you will hear some of the original Business Without Boundaries spots, commercials, music, etc. None of the interviews have been deleted but you might detect some strange editing as I had to make these shows conform to hard breaks for relay to the satellite broadcasting service.

Broadcast 372 (Special Edition)
