193 - STS-102 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Logistics Module (ISS 5A.1: Exp1/2 swap)
On STS-102 it looks like we're just doing a simple crew swap, but complexity abounds. Get ready for new hardware, two spacewalks, cargo swaps, the first ISS crew swap, and a surprise cameo by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

192 - Expedition 1 - ISS, Meet IT
The first long duration crew of the International Space Station is finally here!

Supplemental 9 - Where Does the Time Go? (Schedule Update)
It's been a long time since the last episode of the podcast was posted. What's going on? Fear not, dear listener, it's all good news. Well, mostly good news. And really it's more good for me than for you but– you know what, just give the supplemental a listen.

191 - STS-98 - Destiny Manifest (ISS 5A: Destiny)
On STS-98 it's time for the ISS crew to meet its Destiny. Oh wait, does everyone make that joke? How about "Destiny is on the manifest"? No, I already used that in the title. OK, let's go with "humanity's Destiny is off the planet". Yeah, that works!

190 - STS-97 - Ratcheting Up the Tension (ISS 4A: P6)
On STS-97 the Space Shuttle is delivering its heaviest ISS payload yet: the P6 truss. We'll climb high above the payload bay, consider some strange analogies, and both slack off and tense up. Most of that will make sense once you listen. Also, please note that this episode has a couple of small audio clicks that I wasn't able to remove. So it's not your equipment, it's my audio. Most of you won't notice but I still wanted to mention something for those who do!

189 - STS-92 - Over and Under (Z1 and PMA-3)
After a long wait for the crew (and audience!) STS-92 is finally here. We'll be delivering the heart of the ISS external structure, the Z1 truss, as well as a new docking port, PMA-3. Along the way we'll learn a bit about the folks on the ground who make this all possible, walk through four complicated EVAs, see something no one's seen since 1967, and put our plumber's hats on.

188 - STS-106 - 2A or not 2b (ISS Resupply 2A.2b)
On STS-106, we finally get to meet Zvezda, the Russian service module for the International Space Station. We also meet some new faces, decrypt some mission designations, move a bunch of equipment, and perform an EVA that may or may not be a milestone.

187 - Interview with former NASA flight surgeon Dr. Kim Broadwell
I think we can all agree that social media (and anything approaching it) was a mistake, but sometimes the internet decides to throw you a bone and you meet a NASA flight surgeon on Reddit. After some friendly chatting via email, Dr. Kim Broadwell was gracious enough to speak to me on the podcast. Let's hear what he has to say!
