2 April 2014 on BBC Radio 4:

11 a.m.: Rockets in the Desert

Space journalist Richard Hollingham travels to the US to find out what goes on inside the workshops and hangers of the Mojave Desert. He meets engineers and rocket scientists attempting to create a new industry of private space flight and discovers rockets, planes and a culture in which risk is encouraged. If the projects being developed in this small desert town are successful, they could ultimately transform access to space and make a difference to all our lives.
11 p.m.: Helen Keen's It is Rocket Science
New series 1/4. A comic but scientifically accurate look at the science and history of space exploration. Today: how we might one day travel to Mars and beyond, and the problems of long space voyages, with tips on a rather unsavoury way to stop cosmic rays.

Thanks Chris. I should also give this a 'bump': Radio 4's Walking on The Moon.

Thought this may be of interest, I'm just about to listen to it:
Save The Moon

Professor Chris Riley speaks to space lawyers, scientists and commercial spaceflight entrepreneurs and argues that we need to act now to preserve the Moon for all mankind.

There is a new race to the Moon. Companies around the world are competing to get there first and anyone with enough cash can book their place on a lunar break. Alongside tourism, there are commercial interests. The Moon contains valuable rare minerals as well as a potential source of fuel.

The Moon is under threat. It is supposed to belong to all of us yet thousands of people have already bought lunar plots. One former astronaut believes he can legally claim ownership of a piece of lunar soil.

As the Moon opens for business, so does the potential for commercial exploitation. What can be done to save it?

All times are CT (US)
