The 5 Minute Concept: Fresh on the heels of the European Space Agency's latest successful mission, Paul turns his attentions this months to the beacon of knowledge, space exploration and engineering that rose from the ashes of Europe's darkest days: ESA.

The Interview: Ralph speaks with NASA's Orion Project Manager, Paul Marshall, about the upcoming test flight and the future of manned American space exploration.

Q&A: Listeners' questions via email, Facebook & Twitter take us on a journey into the astronomy issues that have always plagued our understanding or stretched our credulity. This month Ralph & Paul answer:

  • How far away is Voyager from the Oort Cloud and how many years will it be before it gets there? Lee Garner via Twitter.
  • I'm bored of reading sniffy comments about the cost of Rosetta. Can u do a piece next podcast about the benefits vs low budget?Alex Speed via Twitter.
