The Secret Nazi Past and Billionaire Future of U.S. Space Innovation with Jordan Bimm
Podcast: Big BrainsPublished On: Thu Aug 19 2021
Description: Most people think they know humanity’s history of space exploration, from Sputnik to NASA to our recent shift toward privatized space travel. But what if there was a lost history of our origins with space science that would make us rethink the whole narrative? Jordan Bimm is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago The Stevanovich Institute on the Formation of Knowledge and a space historian. Bimm’s uncovered a forgotten chapter of space history that paints a much more militaristic picture of our relationship to space, and he sees a direct through line to our present moment. He says we can’t conceive a brighter future for space exploration until we reckon with its darker past. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
