On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded a mere 73 seconds into its historical flights carrying the first civilian school teacher into space and suffered the loss of its entire crew of seven.
Would things have been different for NASA's shuttle program if the accident had not occurred that cold Florida morning?
On August 1, 1981, MTV premiered and began its influence on the music and television business that would permeate for decades.
Ros is back as a guest host to join Don in a discussion of the influence of MTV and how might music and television have been different in a world with no MTV. As you might expect, they also digress on occasion to discuss analog cable technology among other interesting diversions.

The US Presidential election of 1800 was one of the most unique with Thomas Jefferson being elected after the confusion of a tied vote in the electoral college and Aaron Burr becoming Vice President after a contested and controversial process in the House of Representatives.
