Everything Everywhere Daily - The Space Shuttle

Soon after the start of the space race, a major problem with space flight became obvious: it was really expensive.

The high cost of space flight was in large part due to the fact that every rocket and spacecraft was expendable. Every trip meant a new rocket and a new vehicle. 

To solve this problem, in the early 1970s, the United States launched a new program to create a reusable spacecraft. 

Learn more about the rise and fall of the Space Transportation System, aka the Space Shuttle on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Lessons In Chemistry’ a chemist is the star of…a cooking show?

Bonnie Garmus' new novel Lessons In Chemistry has been getting a lot of buzz. Elizabeth Zott is a talented chemist but because it's the 1960s, she faces sexism in her quest to work as a scientist. So instead she has a cooking show that is wildly popular. Garmus told NPR's Scott Simon that the character of Elizabeth lived in her head for many years before she started writing this novel.
