I'm going to wrap up our look back at the Space Oddities Companion Podcast (located on Public Radio Remix) with a two-fer today. OK, I missed yesterday. :) Today it's Episode 9 and 10. Episode 9 tells the history of two iconic dolls. Well, one is a doll, the other an "action hero." First, we look at the life and times of Barbie and how she went from fashion model to astronaut to recruiting girls into science, engineering, and technology careers. We also tell the story of G.I. Joe and how he help to convince NASA to include the lunar rover in later Apollo missions.
Then we wrap things up with Episode 10. It's an odds-ends episode that ties up some loose ends.
I hope you enjoyed this replay of the Space Oddities Podcast. The book is available at you favorite local bookstore or online outlet as well as the audiobook read by Tim Dixon.
