It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a satelloon!? In this episode, Shelby talks about the Echo I and II satellite balloons (aka satelloons) and why an orbiting satellite got more public attention in 1960 than space shuttle launches have gotten in recent decades. Also discussed is Shelby's internship at the Northfield Historical Society and her work with the materials from Sheldahl Inc., a company who is well-known for its contributions to the Echo Project and other contract work for NASA.
