Space Tourism and "Creature Comforts in Space"
Episode 4
Sunday, 30 June, 2024

Samuel Coniglio IV is a futurist, technical writer, photographer, inventor, and private space industry advocate. He is a Board Member and a former Vice President of the Space Tourism Society. Samuel was active with the National Space Society, Space Frontier Foundation, and Yury's Night World Space Party events. In the 1990's, he worked for McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) on the Space Shuttle, International Space Station, and the little-known, but historic Delta Clipper Experimental (DC-X) reusable rocket program.He is also my friend. We first met in 1994, when Samuel and I worked together to organise a trip of a group of Russian "rocket scientist" students to Florida to visit KSA, ERAU and attend a launch of a Space Shuttle. I lived in the U.S. then.Samuel was in Ireland last week, for the first time ever, and I took liberty of pulling him away from his family for half a day. We talked about space in general, space tourism, and about his new book. We exceeded all possible time limits, so I had to split our "chat" into two separate podcast episodes.In the previous episode (3) we talked about space programs of USA, USSR and Russia and about Delta Clipper Experimental project by McDonnell Douglas.In this episode we talk about space tourism in general and about the book which Samuel wrote and has finally published: "Creature Comforts in Space". It's about all technical solutions (some of which are Samuel's inventions) which will make our lives in space liveable ... and perhaps even comfortable.Samuel's website: https://retro-futurist.comE-book: https://www.amazon.com/Creature-Comfo...Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Creature-Comfo...Soundtrack used in this episode: "Where the Air is Thin" by Jay Varton, courtesy of ‪Epidemic Sound / https://www.epidemicsound.com/music/featured/Podcast host:Mikhail BaskovFounder & CEOiDare Space Travel Limitedhttps://idare.spacembaskov@idare.space+353 1 539 2911 (Ireland) Hosted on Acast.
