This week we invite UK conspiracy theorist Marcus Allen on to the show. We realise this is controversial and may offend some of our listeners. Our aim is to understand why people believe in conspiracy theories. When we are at space events, conspiracies are often spoken about in lowered voices, we feel the need to shine a light on them. We invite listeners to send in their feedback ...can we persuade Marcus the error of his ways in part 2? We also talk about the awesome achievement of SpaceX and the reused Flacon 9 booster. Peggy Whitson and her eighth spacewalk. And Hawkins going to space. Support Space exploration and join the BIS at www.bis-space.com the oldest space advocacy organisation in the world.
