Jay Barbree, NBC'S veteran space correspondent, was with us to talk about our space program from Sputnik to today. His new book, "Live From Cape Canaveral" was the focus of this discussion. As listeners will hear, Jay shared with us not only his thought on the space program then and now, but hilarious stories with the Mercury 7 and the Gemini 9 astronauts. This interview is both very funny and entertaining and also informative and instructive. Listeners asked him many questions comparing the older NASA with today's NASA.
