About this listen

For many of us, Space is a place of wonder. For others, it’s their place of work. Albertans in Space Podcast will highlight Albertans in the space sector who are doing some incredible things. What if the Oil & Gas industry refocused on drilling for water on the Moon? Space is the next frontier and Alberta can be a part of this next chapter. This Podcast aims to encourage education and discussion on what the imminent growth of the Space sector means for the endless possibilities for Alberta.

    The real life ROCKET MAN!


    Despite rockets initially being developed for use of warfare, its technology would inspire humanity to pursue rocketry as a hobby. Calgarian Bryan Hill, a passionate rocketry hobbyist from the Calgary Rocketry Club shares with us how he got involved, the history of the club, how model rockets work, and how they have the same foundational principals of space rockets. In this episode we explore how Calgarians can safely get involved with model rocketry.

  • What's Up With Rocks? - Chris Herd, Planetary Geologist and Meteorite Expert - Ep03S02 - Albertans In Space Podcast
    Apr 28 2026

    Fulfilling one’s childhood dream is a rare and powerful gift—one that can inspire self confidence and motivation in one's life. For Chris Herd, that dream took shape early on as his love for rocks transformed into a love for meteorite rocks. In What’s Up With Rocks, the University of Alberta professor shares with us his fascination with meteorites—how they differ from ordinary rocks, why his research matters, and what Albertans should do if they ever stumble upon one.
