On July 30th, actress Nichelle Nichols passed away at the age of 89. While best known for portraying Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek, she also played a huge role in shaping NASA in the late 1970s, so we thought it was a great time to discuss that, and the link between space flight and Star Trek. We asked Emily's boss at Celestis, Charles Chafer, if he'd like to come and talk about this, as it's something he's very passionate about too.Full show notes: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp101-remembering-nichelle-nichols-and-the-importance-of-star-trek-with-charles-chaferShow 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: [email protected] and Things is brought to you And Things Productions https://www.andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.

This week we are joined once again by Stephen Walker and this time to discuss the 60th anniversary of the mission of Enos, the only chimpanzee to have orbited the Earth in space. He also taught us so much about the use of animals in space from the very beginning right up until what is happening now.Stephen Walker released a new book earlier this year called Beyond, about the incredible race to put the first human in space, but his research covered the whole of that early space program and the book opens with accounts of some the dogs who were flown into space by Russia, and so it seemed like a good fit to discuss Enos with him. Stephen previously joined us on episode 49 to talk about Gherman Titov and on episode 32 to talk about that first human spaceflight made by Yuri Gagarin.Stephen Walker (find out more and buy his book): https://www.stephenwalkerbeyond.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/SWalkerBEYONDFull show notes can be found at: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp65-the-remarkable-and-tragic-story-of-enos-the-astrochimp-60-years-on-plus-other-space-animals-with-stephen-walkerShow 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: [email protected] and Things is brought to you And Things Productions https://www.andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.
