We reflect on the legacy of the late NASA astronaut Jim Lovell with Cady Coleman. She’s a retired NASA astronaut, U.S. Air Force colonel, scientist, pilot and musician. She spent months working and living aboard the International Space Station. Her latest book is titled “Sharing Space: An Astronaut's Guide to Mission, Wonder, and Making Change.” We’ll also get her take on what the future of space exploration and education will be if President Trump’s proposed budget cuts to NASA become a reality.
From there Culture Show contributor Pedro Alonzo joins us for his monthly appearance. He is a Boston-based independent curator who specializes in public art projects. He is also the Artistic Director of the Boston Public Art Triennial.
