Very emotional listening to them contact Houston again once they emerged. I think the recording played is the first time I’ve heard it since December 1968 (Oh What A Flight).

    Series 2 - Apollo 13 which lifted off 47 minutes before the 1970 cup final kicked off. Scary, tense, ingenious stuff as Lovell, Haise and Swigert battle their way out of trouble aided by the geniuses at Mission Control and MIT.

    These were the pioneers of my youth, and everybody’s heroes.

    5 episodes in to this, cheers vintage. Been listening at work the last couple of mornings. The BBC get a lot of stick but their iplayer and sounds are miles ahead of the others. Slick interface and full of decent content.

    Cheers min.

    Just listened to the whole thing over the weekend.

    I was a 10 year old boy on 20th July 1969
    My entire childhood was space orientated.





    Except of course when I was under the sea......Marina, Aqua Marina.

    This boy.

    The ultimate hero, and the first I ever revered.

    “Nobody”, to paraphrase Wiiliam McIlvanney on Jelly Roll Morton, “had a name like Yuri Gagarin”.

    Off to order the book from Hive, who pay their taxes and support local booksellers. Comrade Gagarin would have approved.

    Been banging through a few of sounds podcasts at work the last few days.

    If you've forgotten how many absolute zoomers there are in the states, 'The Sandy Hook Deniers' will remind you.

    And I've decided to tie up a few loose ends on the AbMad investigation in to the Nairn hit so listening to 'The Doorstep Murder' hoping for some new leads.

    I'm a bit put out that the new detective in charge had to choose 20 officers for the new cold case task force and not one of the forum investigation branch members were approached.

    The key to solving that case lays with the gun.

    The Louis Theroux 'grounded' podcasts are excellent listening on BBC sounds. All done over the internet during lockdown.

    Some of the better ones include Jon Ronson, Frankie Boyle and Oliver Stone.

    I did give the Rylan Clark-Neal one a miss.

    More Gagarin 60th anniversary listening.
    Lined up for listening tomorrow.

    ‘Beyond’ by Stephen Walker, the inside story on Comrade Yuri’s fearless pioneering adventure, is the best non-fiction book I’ve read in a very long time. (Gavin Estler’s ‘How Britain Ends’ currently attracting the Vintage vari-focals is shaping up nicely too).
