Riley is a veteran of two NASA astrobiology missions (Leonid MAC) from 1998 and 1999 – reporting on their progress for BBC News. He co-presented the BBC’s live coverage of the 1999, 2001 and 2015 solar eclipses, and has fronted their astronomy magazine show Final Frontier, their cosmology series Journeys in Time and Space, and their live All Night Star Party – a co-production with the Open University. In 2006 he wrote and presented BBC Radio 4’s cosmology series The Cosmic Hunters. Other documentaries he’s written and presented for BBC Radio 4 include “Save the Moon” (2014) and “For All Mankind” (2012).
At the Cheltenham Science Festival in 2009 he presented research conducted with forensic linguist John Olsson on the recordings of Neil Armstrong’s first words spoken on the surface of the Moon in July 1969. Their study confirmed that the “a” was missing – contradicting previous conclusions presented by Peter Shann Ford in 2006. Olsson and Riley went on to show that the words were spoken spontaneously and were not rehearsed or composed by some ‘wordsmith’ beforehand as many have speculated they might have been.
