Turnip, Fires and Ghosts

Sly 5th Avenue talks about his album The Invisible Man: An Orchestral Tribute to Dr Dre. And Sue Nelson talk about her book Wally Funk's Race For Space.

Sly 5th Avenue talks about his album 'The Invisible Man: An Orchestral Tribute To Dr Dre' and picks some of his favourite tracks. And Sue Nelson talk about her book 'Wally Funk's Race For Space' . In 1961, Wally Funk was among the Mercury 13, the first group of American pilots to pass the Woman in Space programme. Wally went on to become America's first female aviation safety inspector. In this book journalist and fellow space buff Sue Nelson joins Wally, now approaching her eightieth birthday, as she races to make her own giant leap, before it's too late. Covering their travels across the United States and Europe - taking in NASA's mission control in Houston, the European Space Agency's HQ in Paris and Spaceport America in New Mexico, where Wally's ride into space awaits - this is a uniquely intimate and entertaining portrait of a true aviation trailblazer. Plus music from Thundercat, Ray BLK, Duke Ellington, This Is The Kit and Jimi Hendrix.
