Episode 133 - Scatterbrain Podcast: The Chief Designer ( Space Race Part 2 )

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast - Episode 133: The Chief Designer ( Space Race Part 2 ).  This is Part 2 in our Space Race series. Part 1 was about where it all started: Sputnik 1 and the impact it had on the world. This week we cover Sergei Korolev, the man who was solely responsible for it's existence, and for the many firsts he accomplished in the years following that monumental feat. His unexpected death in 1966 negatively impacted the Soviet Space Program profoundly. Quite possibly to the benefit of The United States' goal of landing a man on the moon. All but forgotten today, he is widely acknowledged as "The Father of Astronautics". His genius only matched by his rival ( who we will cover next week ). Never heard of him? Didn't think so. You need to listen.  Thanks for joining us, everyone. "Scatterbrain Podcast with Ian and Dan".  Subscribe, share, like, and help spread the word.

No one needs to waste their time and energy on someone who doesn't realize that they would be so much worse off without you. You will be missed more than you will miss them, and they will be left with only themselves to blame."                                                                                                - Fucking me! I said that shit! Always.
