  • Summary

  • There are a lot of air and space celebrities; pilots, astronauts, engineers, etc etc. But there's another category of celebrities that are famous for other things but also have surprising ties to air or space. Today we're talking about three of those; a famous tv chef who also helped create a shark repellant for aviators and spacecraft, an actor from Hollywood's golden years who invented the basis for wifi, and an aerospace engineer who worked on Apollo and more--and also has a pretty famous kid. Stay tuned to the end for a special celebrity guest.

    Thanks to our guests in this episode:

    • Paula Johnson, Curator of Food History-Smithsonian's National Museum of American History
    • Dr. Andrew Meade McGee, Curator of Computing-National Air and Space Museum
    • Dr. Teasel Muir Harmony, Curator of the Apollo Program-National Air and Space Museum
    • Dr. Neil Siegal and his brother, Jack Black
