Talking Space

To kick off our 2nd season of shows, we invite 5-time shuttle astronaut and the only astronaut to summit Mount Everest Dr. Scott Parazynski on the show. We discuss with Dr. Parazynski his climb to the summit along with his spaceflights including STS-120, in which he performed an unplanned spacewalk to repair a damaged solar array which was the difference in the continuation of the ISS construction as planned or a devastating setback to the program. We also discuss the television show on Discovery Channel titled "Everest: Beyond the Limit" which documented his record-setting climb. To keep up with Dr. Scott Parazynski, be sure to follow him on Twitter as @SPOTScott and also visit his website http://www.parazynski.com.
