The Space Above Us
JP Burke
A podcast about the history of NASA human spaceflight. New episodes every other Thursday.
- 5 minutes 11 secondsSupplemental 9 - Where Does the Time Go? (Schedule Update)
It’s been a long time since the last episode of the podcast was posted. What’s going on? Fear not, dear listener, it’s all good news. Well, mostly good news. And really it’s more good for me than for you but– you know what, just give the supplemental a listen.

6 November 2024, 12:04 am - 58 minutes 10 seconds191 - STS-98 - Destiny Manifest (ISS 5A: Destiny)
On STS-98 it’s time for the ISS crew to meet its Destiny. Oh wait, does everyone make that joke? How about “Destiny is on the manifest”? No, I already used that in the title. OK, let’s go with “humanity’s Destiny is off the planet”. Yeah, that works!

31 August 2024, 8:35 pm - 47 minutes 31 seconds190 - STS-97 - Ratcheting Up the Tension (ISS 4A: P6)
On STS-97 the Space Shuttle is delivering its heaviest ISS payload yet: the P6 truss. We’ll climb high above the payload bay, consider some strange analogies, and both slack off and tense up. Most of that will make sense once you listen.
Also, please note that this episode has a couple of small audio clicks that I wasn’t able to remove. So it’s not your equipment, it’s my audio. Most of you won’t notice but I still wanted to mention something for those who do!

30 July 2024, 10:39 pm - 1 hour 1 minute189 - STS-92 - Over and Under (Z1 and PMA-3)
After a long wait for the crew (and audience!) STS-92 is finally here. We'll be delivering the heart of the ISS external structure, the Z1 truss, as well as a new docking port, PMA-3. Along the way we'll learn a bit about the folks on the ground who make this all possible, walk through four complicated EVAs, see something no one's seen since 1967, and put our plumber's hats on.

On STS-106, we finally get to meet Zvezda, the Russian service module for the International Space Station. We also meet some new faces, decrypt some mission designations, move a bunch of equipment, and perform an EVA that may or may not be a milestone.

5 May 2024, 7:17 pm - 57 minutes 25 seconds187 - Interview with former NASA flight surgeon Dr. Kim Broadwell
I think we can all agree that social media (and anything approaching it) was a mistake, but sometimes the internet decides to throw you a bone and you meet a NASA flight surgeon on Reddit. After some friendly chatting via email, Dr. Kim Broadwell was gracious enough to speak to me on the podcast. Let’s hear what he has to say!

On STS-101 we’ve got a slick new cockpit to show off, a pile of launch delays, a ton or two of new equipment and supplies and some floppy disks in the payload bay. Let’s head back to the ISS!

9 February 2024, 11:00 pm - 40 minutes 27 seconds184 - STS-103 - Y2K And I Feel Fine (Hubble Servicing 3A)
The Hubble Space Telescope couldn't wait until the year 2000 for a visit, while the Space Shuttle's computers couldn't handle the year 2000 at all. With the clock ticking, will the crew of STS-103 be able to save the new year for scientists everywhere?

19 December 2023, 5:00 am - 49 minutes 14 seconds183 - STS-93 - Sometimes It's Better To Be Lucky Than Smart (Chandra Deploy)
On STS-93 we’ve got a ton of stuff to do in a mission lasting less than five days. We’ll break another glass barrier, we’ll put the redundancy of the Space Shuttle Main Engines to the test, and we’ll explore the universe in a whole new part of the spectrum. Buckle up, it’s a heck of a flight.
