On Tuesday’s Houston Matters: NASA pioneer, architect of mission control, and longtime Johnson Space Center Director Chris Kraft died Monday in Houston, just two days after the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. We remember Craft’s career and legacy in NASA.
Also this hour: The Battleship Texas is being moved. The historic ship and museum needs to be repaired and then will head to its new home somewhere along the upper Texas coast. But where, exactly, is a point of contention. We learn more about the situation from Bruce Bramlett of the Battleship Texas Foundation.
Then, NASA software engineer Darrell Lee draws on his scientific background to write thrillers about science and technology. We learn about his latest work, The Apotheosis, which portrays an all-too-plausible bio-engineering disaster.
And we preview this year’s Houston Shakespeare Festival.
