TWR Listeners Lounge - Shane Kimbrough

<p>In this episode we welcome NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough to our Listeners Lounge. We open our discussion discussing Shane's earliest recollections about space flight. Shane entered the Army and became a helicopter pilot. Though he didn't think he would get into NASA, a path opened for him and he applied. He says it took a few times to make it past the application process. Since that time, he has flown multiple Space Shuttle missions. He also flew on a Russian Soyuz and spent months on the International Space Station. Shane Kimbrough is now in preparation to be the Commander of a SpaceX launch sometime next year. We end the interview with Shane's view on what the future might look like for space exploration.</p> <p>WATCHING/STREAMING:<br /> With the passing of Sean Connery, Walt re-watched, <strong>A Bridge Too Far</strong>, on Amazon Prime. Walt began watching <strong>The FBI FIles</strong>, also on Amazon Prime. His last two recommendations include <strong>The Mandalorian</strong>'s latest episode and re-watching <strong>Star Trek: Enterprise</strong>. Alan recounted his re-watching of <strong>The Avengers Infinity War</strong> and <strong>End Game</strong> back-to-back.
