Blue Dot 37: Vintage Space With Amy Shira Teitel

Amy Shira Teitel

If there is one thing that really floats my boat it is the history of the U.S. Space Program. Especially the part that I grew up in from when I watched my first broadcast space flights of the Gemini Program in the mid-1960s to the end of the Apollo Moon program in 1972. If you are interested in something, there is probably a YouTube channel for that! And man oh man, is there a cool one for my passion – Vintage Space with Amy Shira Teitel.

Dave Schlom is the longtime host and creator of Blue Dot. From surfing to Voyager in interstellar space, rock guitar to orcas in our imperiled oceans, the topics on Blue Dot are as varied as the host’s interests and connections -- which are pretty limitless! An internationally respected space history journalist, Dave is also deeply fascinated by all aspects of the grand workings of nature’s awesome machinery on scales ranging from galactic to subatomic. And topics take in all aspects of the arts and sciences.
