This week we talk to Mike Haddad, who retired in 2011 from NASA at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) with 32 years of Flight and Ground systems engineering and operational experience. We find out more about life behind the scenes of the space shuttle and all about the efforts involved to restore some of the hardware that was used back then.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
