At some point in our lives we've all wanted to be either an athlete or an astronaut. It seems we can't help but look up to them. On this month's show Rob and Alan examine this phenomenon and take listeners on a rocket fueled ride from the ballpark through the tragedies and triumphs of space travel, all the while seeking to lift our eyes to the heavens.
