Where's My Jetpack?

Where's My... Moon Base?

We're back with another episode of Where's My Jetpack, the podcast that straps a rocket to your retrofuturistic dreams and blasts them into orbit! Today, Luke and Sarah find out that early scientific progress is never a guarantee of continued expansion, as we ask why humans haven't been back to the moon since 1972 and if we'll ever return. To help us find out we're joined by Dr Andy Aldrin, Director of the Aldrin Space Institute, and son of legendary moonwalker, Buzz Aldrin. Which inventions should we look into next?

Will humans really colonise Mars one day? Will I ever ride my own hoverboard like Marty McFly? How long will it be until we can book holidays in space? Where's my jetpack? Back in the 1980s, TV and films promised us everything from jetpacks to flying cars and holidays in space - so what happened to those Space Age dreams? Every week, join space journalist and author, Sarah Cruddas and broadcaster Luke Moore for Where's My Jetpack? Each episode, we look into a different piece of retrofuturistic technology that never was, to find out if these brilliant inventions are still just science fiction or, by looking in the right places, may be just around the corner.New episodes released every Thursday.
