Mooning with Mike Massimino

👨🏻‍🚀👨🏻‍🚀👨🏻‍🚀 Paul and Stephen are obsessed with UFOs and life beyond earth–so who better to add to the conversation than a guy who’s been to space twice? This week, our intrepid Chinwaggers are joined by former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, a man who decided that a fear of heights would be best overcome by a trip to space. In this week’s classified file: space toilets, robot arms, and why there should never be more than one comedian per space shuttle. Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art. Mike Massimino is a former NASA astronaut and a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University. Mike is also the author of a new book, Moonshot: A NASA Astronaut’s Guide to Achieving the Impossible. 👨🏻‍🚀👨🏻‍🚀👨🏻‍🚀 ========= 🎥 REMINDER: Our first ticketed event is coming October 14th to North Adams, MA @ the MASS MoCA Museum 🎥 🎟️ Buy your tickets here before they sell out: https://massmoca.org/event/chinwag/ 🎟️ ========= New episodes of CHINWAG drop Wednesdays for free... n(🧊) Make sure to follow us @chinwagpod 👉🏼 YT: https://www.youtube.com/@chinwagpod IG: https://www.instagram.com/chinwagpod/ Tik: https://www.tiktok.com/@chinwagpod Website: http://chinwagpod.fm Learn more about your ad choices.
