Hi everybody, I'm Florian Boer, one of the 13 minutes to the moon producers, and I've got some really good news.

For months I've been working with the rest of the brilliant team at 30 minutes mission control on a brand new season.

Yes, 13 minutes to the moon is returning.

I don't want to give too much away at this point.

There's going to be lots more information to follow, but I can tell you it's about a subject that some of you have been specifically asking for.

We'll be telling the story of the Space Shuttle.

With us on this new mission since late 2022 has been NASA Space Shuttle Astronaut and Engineer K. Higher.

K has been there, done that, and worn the space suit.

Now in season 3, K is going to tell us the inside story of the dream to redefine spaceflight.

As I say, more and all that coming soon.

In the meantime, I'm really excited to say we are about to record a special live show episode of 30 minutes to the moon.

The recording will be at 7 o'clock in the evening of Wednesday 24th of May at the podcast show in London.

Hopefully, see some of you there.

But even if you can't make it along, wherever you are in the world, you can ask a question.

So what would you want to ask Space Shuttle Astronaut K. Higher?

It can be anything about the shuttle itself, its history, and legacy,

case-amazing career.

What it was like to fly and be in space can be about women in the space program,

or maybe the plant return to the moon and onwards to Mars.

There's lots to ask, and I'm sure there's much more you will be curious about.

So if you have a question you'd like to put to K. Higher, you can submit it via our website.
