Episode 447
Wednesday, 5 November, 2025
Part 2: "Vast Loneliness" continues The Lunar Era series, exploring the Space Race from the early days of the Cold War to the groundbreaking flight of Apollo 8, which marked humanity's first journey to lunar orbit. This episode features space historian Francis French and science journalist Rebecca Boyle. Together, we discuss how political rivalry and one breathtaking photograph, "Earthrise," transformed our understanding of Earth's place in the universe. Part 3 will release on or around Thanksgiving (11/27), so make sure you've subscribed and followed the show so you don't miss future episodes.
