THE INTERSTELLAR AGE Inside the Forty-Year Voyager Mission

Astronomer and space scientist Jim Bell is obviously comfortable behind a microphone. As an insider in the Voyager space program and other NASA projects, he’s lectured at more conferences, symposia, and college classrooms than he can probably count, so his matter-of-fact approach is both friendly and professorial. Here he gives a carefully detailed play-by-play on the development, launch, and planetary encounters of the two Voyager spacecraft. Because he’s “been there—done that,” his narration has the voice of authority. Listen and take a tour of what follows: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and now, interstellar space. Fascinating. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2015]
