STP203 - Remembering Joe Engle - with Michelle Evans

This week we lost another of our heroes. Joe Engle the only astronaut to have flown to space on the X-15 and the Space Shuttle died at the age of 91. We wanted to pay tribute to this incredible pilot so we asked Michelle Evans to join us. Michelle previous wrote and released what is the definitive book on the X-15, “The X-15 Rocket Plane: Flying The First Wings Into Space” - Joe was interviewed for the book and wrote the forward, so Michelle was the perfect guest for us to speak to this week.Joe Engle Obituary:http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-071124a-joe-engle-x15-space-shuttle-nasa-astronaut-obituary.htmlhttps://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-remembers-retired-astronaut-us-air-force-pilot-joe-engle/Michelle Evans:http://www.mach25media.com/x1501.htmlFull show notes: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/sts203-remember-joe-engle-with-michelle-evans Show notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guests and links to what caught our eye this week.Image Credits: NASASpace and Things:X: https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info: https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries: info@andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.
