Guest: Dr. Nader Elhefnawy returned to The Space Show to discuss the role of space throughout literature. As you will hear, space in one form or another has been part of literature since early times although it is not normally considered as a destination or place.

You will want to hear what Dr. Elhefnawy has to say about this throughout this program.
