Project 714 'Shuguang' (w. November Kelly)

In the summer of 1966, work at China’s top-secret space program ground to a halt as every worker spent every day putting up posters, making denunciations, and murdering each other. This week, Quinn, Chris, and Other Chris are joined by November Kelly to talk about Project 714, China’s secret crewed space program and the incredibly dumb reason it died.

Check out November's work here (TF), and here (WTYP), and here (KJB), and here (BGDC), and here (NGNM)!
