Adventures in Space and Tim - Episode 5

Adventures in Space and Tim

Comedian and space enthusiast Helen Keen (creator of BBC Radio 4's multi-award-winning It Is Rocket Science) welcomes you to a podcast inspired by space travel in general and Tim Peake's mission to the International Space Station in particular. In this episode - (1min20secs) we look to the future of astronomy with the exciting James Webb Space telescope, (6min39secs) discover the rather underwhelming names our ancestors called the Milky Way, and (8min30secs) explore card magic, illusion, and experiments in space - from Apollo 14 to the International Space station.
