May 6, 2022 Zimmerman podcast with Countdown to the Moon
Earlier this week I did a 83 minute podcast with Nathan Price as part of his daily Countdown to the Moon project, whereby he is interviewing a person per day, from all walks of life, to get their perspective on America’s attempt to return to the Moon.
Ideally I would interview strangers who do not have an obvious interest in space. And for about three months I was able to do this. I interviewed people at the mall, on the bus, on the train, at the airport, at the coffee shops, on the streets, in the hotel, and where ever else I could find people. Occasionally I would get tied up with work and not find someone to interview, so I took the opportunity to interview family and friends.
He has interviewed now almost a thousand people, and plans to at least that many before ending the project. You can get a sense of what he has learned so far at the link above..
You can watch my podcast with him here.

Ah…. video.
–>Downloading it right now!
Mr. Z.,
-a suggestion for Mr. Price– upload this material to Archive.org.
Bravo Zulu Mr. Zimmerman – very informative interview with Nathan Price.
Following private Space Exploration is exciting, but I also struggle with optimism given our current era. There are many Techno Utopians who aim to become our new Oligarchs.
I appreciated the discussion of the changing nature NASA’s Artemis Moon program (we know you dislike the term ‘program’).
Is there a website that catalogs NASA’s Artemis contracts so we could better understand the direction of Artemis?
Bob, excellent interview. It was nice to actually see you on video. At one point you had Mr. Price almost speechless with your comprehensive analysis, it was fun to watch.
