Fly Me to the Moon

Mary Anne Hobbs presents a moon special with Captain Gene Cernan, the last man on the moon, and astronaut Tim Peake.

The autumnal equinox arrives on September 23rd. The Harvest Moon has just passed (September 9th). Let's lie on our back and gaze up at the big, mysterious, magic moon and spend some time reflecting and listening to music inspired by the moon.
Captain Gene Cernan (officially the last man on the moon) and British astronaut Tim Peake are the star guests on Mary Anne Hobbs' moon special. They will be sharing their unique thoughts on space travel.
You will hear some great tracks inspired by Earth's satellite, by artists including Television, David Bowie, Arthur Russell, Van Morrison and Echo & the Bunnymen.
