Episode 110 | Petrol Filled Champagne Bottles

This week's stories are incredible. Angie starts off with the story of Ronald Erwin McNair, the second Black NASA astronaut. Not only was he an astronaut, he was a fifth-degree black belt and accomplished saxophone player. His tenacity helped him rise through the ranks at all of his goals. His life is cut short, tragically, when the Challenge spacecraft explodes.  Theresa lightens the mood by reverting to a love of hers – female spies of WWII. She regales us with the story of Josephine Baker, the nude dancer, turned actress, turned spy. Just when you think you know what is happening Theresa says something else out of right field.  This episode pairs well with:  Astronaut Sally Ride Angie's Favorite Space Mistakes Astronaut Kalpana Chawla WWII Spy Nancy Wake  WWII Creation of the SOE / Collin Gubbins WWII Spy Phyllis Latour Doyle WWII Spy Aline Griffith
