IT'S A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE! IT'S A . . . DOGHOUSE?
Throughout Charles Schulz's Peanuts stories, Snoopy has used his incomparable imagination to go on iconic aviation and space adventures. He's transformed himself into a World War I flying ace, a charter pilot, an astronaut, and even a helicopter.

Today on AirSpace, we learn how Charlie Brown's best friend Snoopy became a bona fide aerospace legend. We also learn about his impact on real-life aerospace industry and culture, including as a symbol of flight safety at NASA and a very special role on the uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022. 

Thanks to our guests in this episode:

  • Benjamin Clark, Curator at the Charles Schulz Museum
  • Melissa Menta, SVP of Global Brands and Communications for Peanuts Worldwide
