Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The space shuttle Discovery is due to launch this Wednesday after a near two and a half year hiatus. For this Tech Tuesday conversation we figure out how much NASA has riding on this mission, what it means for the manned space travel initiatives to the moon and Mars and how much NASA has changed since the Columbia tragedy in 2003.
Guests
- Howard McCurdy Professor of Public Affairs, American University; co-author of "Robots In Space: Technology, Evolution and Interplanetary Travel" (Johns Hopkins University Press)
