How Do You Top That?

September 29, 2022 09:00 - 6 minutes - 9.1 MB

In our celebrity-crazed world, the term “one-hit wonder” is commonly used to refer to an athlete, musician, or author who earned an Olympic gold, a Grammy, or a best-seller with their first work, and never repeated. Sometimes, I wonder what life was like after the games for a swimmer or gymnast who earned gold at the ripe age of 16 or 20. They had achieved something they had dreamed of for most of their lives—now what? Was that really their peak, the best thing that had ever happened to them...

Secret Astronaut Sauce?

September 15, 2022 09:00 - 14 minutes - 20.1 MB

When I was young, I wasn’t one to utter the sentence “When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut!” I was fascinated by other things—geography, maps, and languages—and studied foreign languages, oceanography, and geology in college and beyond. You might think that sounds like an odd background for an astronaut, but astronauts come from a wider range of professional experience than most people recognize. So, how exactly did I go from being a marine biologist by trade to joining the NASA Astrona...

Cold War Cat & Mouse - American Astronauts Meet Soviet Cosmonauts

September 01, 2022 09:00 - 11 minutes - 15.2 MB

As NASA’s best ambassadors, astronauts do so much more than just train and fly. They also do public appearances and media interviews around the country, in addition to occasionally being deployed on foreign soil to represent the United States. My first such foreign assignment came in the summer of 1985—but it turned out to have an unexpected, spy-novel-like dimension.   In this episode, you’ll hear about my first foreign assignment as an astronaut and the cat-and-mouse intelligence game be...

We're Just a Speed Bump

August 18, 2022 09:00 - 8 minutes - 12 MB

Astronauts spend months, even years, waiting for the day they get to fly. And when it’s their turn, they can feel on top of the world—but it certainly didn’t work that well on my third mission, STS-45. We were taken for granted, to say the least. We were but a speed bump on the road to another telegenic space mission.   But, dear explorer, there are a few insights from the experience you might ponder.   In this episode, you’ll hear about my experience before our flight for the STS-45 mis...

The New Era of Astronomy: from Hubble to James Webb

August 04, 2022 09:00 - 58 minutes - 80.2 MB

In November of 1990, Toby Goodman received a gift from his father for his 10th birthday. It was a telescope: an item with a purpose and capacity for evoking awe that no other toy had. It was no surprise that telescopes filled the shelves of toy stores in London: a few months before receiving the gift, Toby explains, the Hubble Space Telescope had launched, captivating the wonder of people from all walks of life.   On July 12, 2022, a new era in astronomy dawned. The first full-color images...

I Serve At the Pleasure of the President

July 28, 2022 09:00 - 20 minutes - 28 MB

While my work with the NOOA was a complex and generally fun job, it was one that fully demanded full intensity. It left me pretty tired after four years. So, when I left the country’s preeminent climate and ocean agency in 2017, I planned to slow down—maybe travel some, enjoy the flexibility that comes with retirement, and have time to get a dog. I eventually got my pup and, for several years, did a pretty good job at saying no to claims for my time that didn’t inspire me. But everything cha...

Playing Global War Games

July 14, 2022 09:00 - 9 minutes - 13.5 MB

Does the daily news ever make you wonder how the government actually works? Civics classes used to teach us how our country’s laws and constitution work. Today, in the US, most students don’t have a single civics class in school. What amazes me is not how so few people know how the government works, but how few seem curious about how it works—despite how much it impacts lives. There are so many things we can learn about other countries’ governments, and we can apply those lessons to ourselve...

The Princess and the Space Shuttle

June 30, 2022 09:00 - 15 minutes - 21.9 MB

While I have never met the Queen of England, I did have a brush with British royalty during my career at NASA. In 1989, when news spread that a British princess wanted to visit NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston—where I was based—for her grand tour of the US, it caused a lot of excitement in my world. Royal visits to the United States are rare, but royal visits to the NASA Houston base are a lot rarer. Today, you’ll hear about the time a colleague and I gave a tour of the Full Fuselage ...

You Should Do A Podcast About That

June 16, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 95.1 MB

It’s been quite a journey since I launched the Kathy Sullivan Explores podcast, to say the least. From exploring the power of mythology and leadership styles to delving into the commercial space industry and the advent of the new space age, I’ve certainly had a lot of fascinating conversations in my first year of podcasting—and what’s a better way to celebrate my first podcasting anniversary than to reflect on the journey thus far?   Toby is the author of Narrow Podcasting: Make Profitable...

Toe to Toe with Catherine Deneuve

May 26, 2022 09:00 - 19 minutes - 26.3 MB

In the late spring of 1985, two colleagues and I were invited to a dinner in France. While it was all well and good to be invited to an evening event—in France, no less—it did raise a few concerns. The thing is, it wasn’t a usual dinner: it was the Paris Airshow of that year, held at a chateau. My colleagues didn’t know how to rent tuxes in Paris, I didn’t know what to wear, and I was one of two featured guests for the evening. The other was a top-tier film star and model who’s as revered in...

An Unidentified Flying Object?

May 12, 2022 09:00 - 8 minutes - 12.3 MB

One of the coolest assignments I had back in my early astronaut days was being the science equipment operator aboard NASA’s WB-57F aircraft. It was 1982 when I flew an unusual mission not only because of the sinister feel of the WB-57F or the assignment’s details, but also because of what came after it—and the foreboding I felt that night seems confirmed by recent events far too often.   In this episode, you’ll hear about the UFO sighting that defined one of my early missions as an astrona...

Never Believe Your Own PR

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a celebrity? Have you ever dreamed of getting all that attention and what you’d make of the fuss about you?

April 14, 2022 09:00 - 33 minutes - 45.6 MB

What are the elements of leadership? How can you develop an environment where everyone can blossom and collaborate toward mission success?

Waking Up with Robin Williams

March 03, 2022 09:00 - 12 minutes - 17.7 MB

Have you ever been so ecstatically happy about something that you just couldn’t contain your excitement? I sure have. And on that occasion, the legendary comic and actor, Robin Williams, helped me express my joy.   The year was 1988, and the source of my glee was the impending launch of the space shuttle mission STS-26. The seventh flight of the orbiter Discovery was an event that would mark the end of two of the darkest and hardest years for every astronaut and their families.   In this...

At the Oscars with George Lucas

February 17, 2022 09:00 - 10 minutes - 14.1 MB

I never missed an episode of Star Trek when I was young. I grew up watching Captain James T. Kirk and his crew aboard the Starship Enterprise while they explored the universe and defended the Federation. I also loved the Star Wars films and distinctly remember watching the starfighter combat and how Luke Skywalker destroyed the Death Star with photon torpedoes. But never had I imagined while watching them that I would someday fly in space, much less that one of my missions would involve phot...

Ask Me Anything

January 06, 2022 09:00 - 15 minutes - 21.7 MB

This past year has been more or less better than its predecessor. Looking at the silver linings, 2021 opened many doors to people who didn’t know those doors even existed.

Well Oiled Machinery and Teams

December 09, 2021 09:00 - 12 minutes - 17 MB

Some say trust is rarely given twice, but every day we trust people to do their roles—whether in public transportation or keeping the internet stable—so our daily tasks aren’t interrupted. You shouldn’t give your trust to anyone, let alone a group of strangers, but sometimes you have no other choice. How do you know if the people you work with are trustworthy?   Today, I recall the story of Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31, and how it made me recognize the elite group I’m part of. I...
