Helen Keen's It Is Rocket Science

Available for 29 days

Funny, off-beat but true account of the history of space flight. * Will humanity ever make it to the stars? * Time travel, parallel universes and faster than light travel. * Have aliens ever made it here? If so, were they tempted to use their vastly superior intelligence to really clean up in pub quizzes? Starring: Helen Keen Peter Serafinowicz Susy Kane Written by Helen Keen and Miriam Underhill. Producer: Gareth Edwards First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in March 2011.
