This week we're joined by author and space historian Richard Jurek to cover a diverse set of subjects which he is interested in. Richard has released two books, 'Marketing The Moon: The Selling Of The Apollo Lunar Program' and 'The Ultimate Engineer: The Remarkable Life of NASA's Visionary Leader George Low'. He has also set up the Jefferson Space Museum to showcase his collection of flown $2 bills, and that's a story that you won't want to miss.
