We welcomed back to the show Doug Stewart with Ron Miller to discuss the film and opening of "Chesley Bonestell: A Brush With The Future." During our 89 minute discussion, not only did we focus on the film and its release during the Covid pandemic, we talked about space art in general, the life and times of Bonestell, his space art but also the rest of his work plus the awareness of Bonestell and his contributions on a global level. As I have done before, I have copied the tags and key words, posting them below, as they follow the discussion and the main topics including a call and multiple email listener questions. In listening to the discussion, you will get the details behind the key words plus in many instances you will get a much deeper look into the life of Bonestell and all his work and accomplishments, not just his space art.
