The first space station, the first pictures and sounds from the surface of other planets, launching new space craft, space telescopes and probes sent to the outer solar system. This week Peter and Russell look at the developments after the Moon landing, the changes in the political climate the ongoing tensions of the cold war and the efforts to cooperate in space. We have a few more sound clips to share of key moments in the exploration of space and the changes happening back here on the ground. Join us as we also take a look at the new players and the ongoing race to make space and other planets part of our future.
Welcome to Season 3 and our first episode is all about unfortunate events that happened on Friday the 13th.
This week Peter and Russell go through history and talk about the boy who was hit by lightening, the end of the Aztec empire and the Black Friday Bushfires in Australia and many other strange and unfortunate events. We even have a prediction for Friday the 13th 2029!

This week Peter and Russell look some more famous "facts" that people frequently quote that sadly just aren't true. Do you believe you shouldn't go swimming after eating? Do your hair and nails continue to grow after you die? Do you really have nightmares if you eat cheese before bed? Would an Ostrich really stick it's head in the sand when scared? Join us as we explore the basis of these beliefs and if they're actually true.
