On this episode, Derek sits with Dr. Charles Camarda.  Charlie is an engineer and former NASA Astronaut.  He will be discussing how he got into engineering, his time at NASA Langley Research Center, his transition into the astronaut program and then we discuss STS-114, the "Return to Flight" on the Space Shuttle Discovery after the loss of Columbia.  You will hear insights into life on the space shuttle, the mission of STS-114, and you will hear from Charlie himself about the inner workings of NASA’s culture which led to him being reassigned after raising safety questions about the shuttle.
