For our 100th episode, we decided that we’d like to talk some more about Skylab, and why not talk to one of the astronauts who lived onboard back in 1973, Dr. Joseph Kerwin.Dr Kerwin doesn’t have any social media pages, but learn more about Skylab in the book he co-wrote with Owen Garriott and David Hitt: Homesteading Space: The Skylab Story.Full show notes: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp100-revisiting-skylab-with-dr-joseph-p-kerwinShow notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guest, plus videos of any launches.Image Credits: NASASpace and Things:Twitter:https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info:https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon:https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries:info@andthingsproductions.comSpace and Things is brought to you And Things Productionshttps://www.andthingsproductions.com

This week we welcome back author Gerald Brennan, who we previously spoke to on episode 54.

This week we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Landsat program. One of the most underrated programs in space flight. And to do this we’re joined by two Landsat scientists: Dr Jim Irons, former director of the Earth Science Division at NASA Goddard and Dr Jeff Masek, Landsat 9 project scientist since 2015.Official Landsat website: https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/Earth As Art: https://eros.usgs.gov/media-gallery/earth-as-artFull show notes: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp98-50-years-of-landsat-with-dr-jim-irons-and-dr-jeff-masekShow notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guest, plus videos of any launches.Image Credits: NASASpace and Things:Twitter:https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info:https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon:https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries:info@andthingsproductions.comSpace and Things is brought to you And Things Productionshttps://www.andthingsproductions.com
