In this edition of Stellar Conversations, Charlie Bolden, veteran of four space flights gives an insider’s look, at what it takes to launch the space shuttle. Bolden logged more than 680 hours in orbit, assisted in deploying the Hubble Space Telescope, and commanded the first mission that included a Russian cosmonaut as a crew member. Rick Chappell, director of Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory and a past associate director of science at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, conducts the interview.
Listen to past episodes of Stellar Conversations, which is produced by Vanderbilt’s Dyer Observatory.
