I'm back from a mini-hiatus. Life and work got the best of my schedule, but I'm working to get back on track. Weekly space history episodes are starting back up now! I'm still working on my favorite space movies list, so keep an eye out for that episode.

Correction- I erroneously added Stu Roosa to the crew of Apollo 17. The Command Module Pilot for this mission was Ron Evans. I had a picture of Roosa on my display while recording and switched up their names. Check out Facebook tomorrow for an unusual picture of the Apollo 14 astronaut.
