You can find out more about this book from the One Giant Leap Foundation book website, www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/books.htm. We started our discussion by talking about ancient observatories and then observation versus exploration.

Guest: Andrew Chaikin was the guest for this Space Show program. We talked about his new book, "A Passion for Mars: Intrepid Explorers of the Red Planet," discussing inspiration, the pioneers that have explored Mars, and why exploration is so important for today and our future. We mentioned some of the fabulous pictures in the book including art from Carter Emmart and Chesley Bonestell and images from NASA which were sent to the White House to make the case to go to Mars decades ago.

Guest: Gala Event for the 50th Anniversary of America in Space in Huntsville, AL, Jan. 31, 2008. This Space Show program is a recording of the Gala Event held at the Davidson Center for Space Exploration for the dedication of the original, fully restored Saturn V Moon Rocket. The program starts out with an already in-progress special press conference with several astronauts. You will hear most of it although the audio can be challenging. In fact, the audio for this entire program is challenging and you will hear me explain why during my introductory remarks.
