Ep. 43 Dr Alice Gorman
Alice Gorman is one of the world's leading authorities on space archaeology. She blogs as 'Dr Space Junk' and her research on space exploration has been featured in National Geographic, New Scientist, and Archaeology magazine. She is a faculty member of the International Space University's Southern Hemisphere Space Program in Adelaide.
She started life as an archaeologist and then, after a gruelling day of field work and while having a beer and looking up at the night sky, she had her lightbulb moment. That beer changed her life. Well....there were a few other factors as well but you know what I mean.
We discussed all manner of things.....space junk, Elon Musk, proprietary rights to space, extra terrestrial life, fictional WW1 fighter pilot Biggles. Everything.
Everyone I reckon has a bit of a fascination with space. If you're one of those people, you'll enjoy this. Even if you're not, have a listen. Like me, you'll probably learn quite a bit.
