The Other Side of Midnight

Show Page: Alternate Listening: "NASA Astronauts Stranded in Low Earth Orbit!" "Major NASA Contractor Creates Space 'Lemon!'" "New Boeing Starliner Spacecraft Could Kill Returning Astronauts!" For listeners not totally distracted by Thursday night's "cage match" Presidential Debate, a few other "important things" have been occurring on the planet in the past few days. Like-- Two NASA astronauts, Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams -- test pilots for Boeing's latest human-rated transport vehicle to and from the International Space Station (ISS) -- have been "stranded" at ISS now for more than three weeks .... And, according to the NASA's surprising latest Friday announcement, because of continuing "helium leaks and thruster issues aboard the docked spacecraft," Butch and Suni could be staying on ISS for, not the originally planed "eight days ...", but-- THREE FULL MONTHS! So-- What's REALLY going on?! What do the latest "Chinese unmanned landing on the Farside of the Moon," The April 8th "Total Solar Eclipse," and the on-going, never-ending "space opera" surrounding NASA's latest heroes -- Butch and Suni-- HAVE IN COMMON!? Join us ... and find out. Richard C. Hoagland Copyright 2024
