We’re blasting off this brand new series of Inventive Podcast with Spacecraft Engineer Sian Cleaver<\/strong><\/a>. Sian’s superpower wish is to be able to fly – all the way to the moon. When she was a child, her dream was to have the first baby in space! In Episode One, Sian tells presenter Trevor Cox about her work on the Orion European Service Module<\/a> <\/strong>for NASA’s Orion Spacecraft<\/a><\/strong>, built to take humans farther into space than they’ve ever gone before. It’s not just men who are going to the moon this time – women are going too. And Sian says the Orion mission will be a stepping stone on the way to Mars.
If you listened to our first series \u2013 if not, you can listen to previous episodes below – you’ll know that we mix science and the arts by asking writers to create works inspired by the engineers’ stories. For this episode, we have something a little bit special. We asked rapping scientist and engineer Jon Chase<\/a><\/strong> to tell Sian’s inspirational story in rhyme. We love Jon’s approach – it’s an entertaining and fact-filled listen – we hope you do too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
