Ep. 3: Michael Interbartolo, Engineer at NASA Johnson Space Centre, Houston

Michael’s fascination for space began at a young age, it was the spacecraft design and engineering that caught his attention. A flight controller for the Space Shuttle programme, Moonshot Navigator and now innovating ideas for the Human Lunar Lander which will return humans to the Moon as part of the artemis mission, his career is the stuff of science fiction. Mike’s a fast-talking Bostonian with a mind that works even faster. In this episode he speaks about career highlights and the people who nurtured his lifelong curiosity for all things space.
