Astronauts and explorers, including Brian Blessed, Sir Patrick Stewart, Nicole Stott, and Charlie Duke, discuss their passion for space travel. They delve into the wonders and challenges of traveling into space, talking about topics like Mars exploration, personal experiences in space, and the value of humans in space exploration. The podcast also touches on limited communication in space and pays tribute to Patrick Moore with a heartfelt poem.

Thanks to the lack of transparency in D.C., it seems the popularity of moon-landing conspiracy theories has skyrocketed in recent years. “I’m perplexed because the evidence is overwhelming,” Apollo astronaut Charlie Duke tells Glenn. As one of the few humans to walk on the moon, Charlie is well-equipped to set the record straight. He walked on the moon when he was just 36, making him the youngest person to leave footprints on the lunar surface. He tells Glenn the harrowing story of his near-disastrous win in the “Moon Olympics,” when he nearly punctured his space suit: “Never do anything on the Moon that you didn’t practice on Earth.” Charlie also walks Glenn through his incredible life story on Earth, including his journey to Christ, which he holds as even more important than his voyage to the moon. He also gives his thoughts on the future of space travel, going to Mars, and whether aliens exist.           SPONSORS:"The Glenn Beck Podcast" has partnered with Pre-born with a goal of saving 70,000 babies in 2023.
