The week in space history for October 28th to November 3rd. I'm still working through some computer issues. I think I've narrowed things down to a faulty keyboard cable on my laptop that I'm repairing this weekend. I'm still unable to record directly on my Mac, so I'm going through a few extra steps to record podcasts right now. Bear with me as I work through these technical issues.
