Bodies in Motion

like to travel in a rocket (why you won’t feel any motion), and NASA’s plans for returning to the moon.

Also, life in an accelerating universe and why a spacecraft’s quirky trajectory may mean that the laws of motion need tweaking. And we revisit Stanley Kubrick’s epic film 2001: A Space Odyssey

Plus, Seth gets around … and around … when he takes a spin in a gravitational centrifuge.

Guests: John Keller – Deputy project scientist for NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Robert Kirschner – Astronomer at Harvard University Jaime Mateus – Graduate student at M.I.T.’s Manned Vehicle Laboratory Mark Frank – Astrodynamicist in California Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood – Stars of the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey
