STP169 - The Artist & The Astronaut - with Bill Muench

This week we talk to film maker Bill Muench about his brand new documentary “The Artist & The Astronaut” about Skylab 4 commander Jerry Carr and his wife Pat Musick. The 50th anniversary of Jerry’s mission has just started so this is the perfect start for us to kick start our own celebrations.
