Description:

The Discussion: Ralph’s been in Washington – which, of course, means a visit to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, we say goodbye to Russian cosmonaut, Alexi Leonov, and take a look at listeners’ emails.

The News: Rounding up the space exploration news this month we have:

  • James Webb Space Telescope inches ever closer
  • The USAF’s autonomous space plane sets a new record
  • SpaceX are back on the right path with its crew capsule
  • NASA are sending a viper to the moon and an orbiter to Pluto
  • Plans are revealed about Scotland’s new spaceport.
  • Project Artemis technologies being funded by NASA
  • The findings and recommendations of NASA’s Planetary Protection Review

Main news story: NASA’s new moonsuit is revealed.

The Debate: Now that we’ve whittled down the contenders for the greatest space mission of all time (the last fifty years anyway), it’s your time to crown the winner!
