Golic & Greenberg Go Galactic: Interview Space Shuttle Crew

Groundwork for the rare radio “call in” was laid when Ham reached out to ESPN and  Radio’s Mike & Mike for articles that would fit NASA’s restrictions on personal belongings he could bring on board. ESPN provided Ham a mic flag (from the set of Mike and Mike, and hollowed out to make it lighter), stickers, and two CDs (Best of Mike and Mike, with a personal introduction from Greenberg, and Best of SportsCenter).

The crew’s mission to the International Space Station is the second of three flights that will launch components to complete the Japanese “Kibo” laboratory.
