[amsat-bb] BBC Radio 4 - The Enduring Legacy of Apollo

[Trevor .]

Professor Sir Martin Sweeting G3YJO appeared on today's BBC Radio 4 show For All Mankind in which Chris Riley examined the enduring legacy of the Apollo moon missions.

Chris Riley talks to astronauts, philosophers and entrepreneurs about the enduring impact of Apollo. By pushing technology to its limits, the missions showed us what we could achieve as a species. In the longer term, they accelerated the development of modern electronics, inspired the environmental movement and even helped thaw Cold War relations. 

Martin G3YJO mentions the first UOSAT's (UO-9 and UO-11), you can hear him at 08:52 into the recording which is at
