Summary
What if President John F. Kennedy had survived and rocketed the Space Race of the 1960s into overdrive? And what if he was, maybe, not quite...himself?
Space: 1969 is a wild and outrageous sci-fi comedy from the mind of Emmy-winning writer Bill Oakley (The Simpsons, Futurama, Portlandia).
Nancy Kranich (played by Emmy-nominated actress Natasha Lyonne of Russian Doll and Orange Is the New Black) is a night nurse on an orbiting space station. But Nancy hates her job, is sick of space, and longs to find adventure and a safe place to smoke cigarettes that won’t blow everyone up.
But when Nancy gets caught up in an outer-space conspiracy involving President Kennedy (serving his third term), former vice-president Richard Nixon (now a miserable, forgotten lawyer practicing estate law in New York City), and an intergalactic object that could change the course of history, she gets way more adventure than she bargained for.
Can Nurse Nancy save herself, the Moon Colony, and the future of the entire United States of America?
Space: 1969 is a retro sci-fi comedy adventure that has to be heard to be believed!

Oh dear, not for the UK market
The humour, whatever there might be of it and I certainly didn't hear any, would appear to be of the American variety. So unless you like things spelt out with canned laughter and annoying music, I'd advise staying clear of this one.
If you are unaware I flag this is a number of episodes of a programme bolted together.

Wonderful for those having trouble sleeping.
if you are having trouble dropping off to sleep and downing a whole bottle of pills is not working, this is a viable last resort. I was praying for the sweet release of death by sixty seconds in.

NOT for UK audiences!
I'm always willing to give space-based 'funny' presentations a go, but holy hell, this is about as funny as a root canal without anaesthetic!
The voice actors do as well as they can with the awful script, and Ms Lyonne delivers her 10,000-a-day cigarette habit voice with aplomb.
The story is just, well, dire.
A pedestrian and bland story with few redeeming features... Childish humour.
UK audiences often struggle with cringey American humour.
Saturday Night Live, Will Ferrell, and show hosts such as Johnny Carson clones, are perfect examples.
If you like this kind of humour, you will love this, but for those who prefer their humour to be a bit more on the cerebral side - you will likely struggle to finish.
Apologies to the actors.
If it wasn't free, I'd want my money back!

Weirdly entertaining!
Not quite what I expected, but great fun. Completely bonkers, daft, silly, but also a clever story.

A fun listen that breaks all the right rules
Put Natasha Lyonne in your audio drama and I'm gonna listen to it. So much fun and I hope there's a follow up.
