On Episode 181 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik are joined by Alma Okpalefe, World Space Week Association's executive director, to discuss the global celebration of all things space, bringing together thousands of participants from all over the planet to celebrate our future in space.
Chartered by the United Nations in 1999, this year's theme is "Living in Space." The many associated events from across the world are a reminder to all of the importance of space in our lives and our future, and a clarion call to international youth of the value of their future involvement. We spoke with the Okpalefe, who explained their origins, activities, and plans for the future. It's one of the premier space-related events of the year, and when you're done with the episode, you'll want to know more!
