Neil talks with astronaut Shannon Walker about the challenges of spaceflight (including training for weightlessness aboard the so-called “vomit comet”), and speaks with Senator John Glenn about the future of the space station. Architect Jim Polshek brings us back down to Earth with the practical realities of creating buildings large and small. From the German rocket scientist Wernher von Braun's early plans for a space station, to the history of cathedral building, to how space affects a spider’s ability to weave a web, to the history of the space station, learn how this cosmic construction can change the way we see the world.
