Joel Powell was the guest for this Space Show program. As the focus was on his book about the history of Cape Canaveral, "Go For Launch: An Illustrated History of Cape Canaveral" published by Apogee, we began with a brief history of the Cape. For history buffs, you will certainly enjoy this program as Joel takes us through the history with military rockets, test rockets, commercial efforts and NASA launches over the 56 year history of this rocket center. We talked about the visitor services, the museums, the models of rockets from history on display, the Saturn V in its own hanger, and even the submarine launches off the coast of the Cape. From listening to this program, you will learn a history that most likely is new to you, or at least a large part of it is new to you. You will hear me praise his book throughout this show because it really is a terrific book, pictures, text, captions, all of it. I consider this book a must have for anyone who reads and collects space books. Toward the end of the program, we went through the launch rate per year, finding out why the rate was so high in the peak year and so low right now. You can continue asking questions or comments of the author, Mr. Powell, by sending them to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com. I will promptly forward your messages to Joel Powell.
