STP39 - 2 Funny Astronauts - Mike Massimino and Garrett Reisman

This week we're joined by not one, but two astronauts! Mike Massimino and Garrett Reisman have just started their own podcast '2 Funny Astronauts' - so we asked them if they'd like to come and talk to us all about it and to speak more about life as an astronaut and some of the other wonderful things they've been able to do. Not only were they funny, but it's also pretty damn inspirational.
