STP38 - Flight Director Gerry Griffin Celebrates Apollo 14 and Apollo 15

<p>This week we were joined by legendary NASA flight director Gerry Griffin to discuss the 50th anniversary of Apollo 14 and Apollo 15. We obviously had some other questions for him too, but we really want to hear about those missions, and boy did he deliver. At 86 years old, he remembered things in such incredible detail and was an absolute pleasure to talk to. This was very kind set up by Max Kaiserman of Luna Replicas (check out episode 15 of our podcast), so he also joined us for this wonderful discussion. We really hope that Max can join us for more chats in the future, a true friend of the podcast.</p><br><p>Full video of the interview on our Patreon Page: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/spaceandthings" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/spaceandthings</a></p><br><p>Space and Things Pin: <a href="https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/merch/p/space-and-pin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/merch/p/space-and-pin</a></p><br><p>News at the Top of the Show:</p><p>Emily's latest blog post: Icebergs Ahead: The 1970 Letter That Predicted NASA’s Future in Human Spaceflight:</p><p><a href="https://space.nss.org/icebergs-ahead-the-1970-letter-that-predicted-nasas-future-in-human-spaceflight/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://space.nss.org/icebergs-ahead-the-1970-letter-that-predicted-nasas-future-in-human-spaceflight/</a></p><br><p>Kayla Barron Joins NASA's SpaceX Crew-3 Mission: <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/kayla-barron-joins-nasa-s-spacex-crew-3-mission-to-space-station/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/kayla-barron-joins-nasa-s-spacex-crew-3-mission-to-space-station/</a></p><br><p>30th Anniversary of Helen Sharman's flight: <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/long-reads/helen-sharman-female-british-astronaut-b1845426.html?r=449" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.independent.co.uk/independentpremium/long-reads/helen-sharman-femal
