In the coming two months I've got multiple interviews lined up, so there's going to be some longer form episodes mixed in with the daily space history content. I'm still working on a super secret project that's almost to the point where I will be able to talk about it in more detail, so stay tuned for those details! :) The rest of 2017 is going to be amazing!

54 years ago today, American astronaut Gordon Cooper lifted off on what was the last Project Mercury mission. Today I cover a little of the history of that launch plus I cover some news from a SpaceX launch earlier today. On the next episode I will be looking at what Gordo did during the last Mercury mission, and talk a little about the new Discovery Channel series "Cooper's Treasure"
