Book description
Forget everything you thought you knew about space history. Bill Oakley's Space: 1969 isn't just a book-it's a cosmic fever dream you need to hear, preferably while pretending your couch is a lunar module. Imagine JFK, still in office for a third term (because why not?), Nixon reduced to a grumpy estate lawyer in NYC, and a nurse named Nancy who'd rather smoke a cigarette in peace than save the galaxy. Natasha Lyonne? She's Nancy, and she delivers this role like she's narrating a late-night TV drama where the stakes involve intergalactic threats and really bad space coffee. Honestly, it's the only time you'll hear "estate law" and "alien artifact" in the same sentence without wanting to laugh until you cry.
The audiobook? Pure, unadulterated joy. Lyonne's deadpan delivery ("Another day, another conspiracy that smells like burnt toast and regret") is chef's kiss. But it's not just her-this cast is a who's who of comedy gold. Jim Meskimen as a slightly confused astronaut? Perfection. Catherine Taber's Nixon sounding like he's arguing with a will? Chef's kiss again. You'll swear you're hearing the Simpsons cast doing a Star Trek parody in a space bar. And the Dolby Atmos? It's not just for show; you'll feel the moon dust in your ears when Nancy tries to sneak a smoke near the observation deck. (Spoiler: It does blow up. Always does.)
This isn't just a sci-fi romp-it's a time capsule of absurdity, packed with JFK's questionable policy decisions (like "Space Colonies: The New Frontier for Tax Returns?"), Nixon's existential dread, and Nancy's desperate quest for a quiet corner to light up. Oakley, the guy who made Futurama feel like a Tuesday, has crafted something that's equal parts The Twilight Zone and Parks and Rec on a spaceship. You'll be nodding along to "Wait, what?" while simultaneously laughing so hard you miss your next bus stop. It's the perfect antidote to boring history-like if someone took Mad Men and dropped it into Guardians of the Galaxy with a side of existential dread.
So grab your earbuds, dim the lights, and let Lyonne's Nancy guide you through a conspiracy that's less "Mission Impossible" and more "Oh, this is why I quit nursing." You'll laugh, you'll gasp, and you'll wonder why you haven't been listening to this since 1969 (or whenever this actually happened). Trust me: the only thing that could make this better is if Nixon suddenly started rapping about wills. And honestly? I'd listen to that too. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a space station to save... and a cigarette I need to hide from the lunar colony. (They're strict about that.)
