Staying in shape in space this week on planetary radio. Hi everyone, welcome to Public Radio's travel show that takes you to the final frontier.

I'm Ad Kaplan. Astronaut Clay Anderson spent five months

floating around the International Space Station. He'll tell us today how he

managed to stay in great shape. Bill Nye, the Science Guys, shares more of his fascination

with those clouds on Mars and what they might tell us about our own planet.

Speaking of planets, Emily Lachto-walla will tell us why Pluto is out, but Earth is still in,

and we'll wrap up as always with Bruce Betts, and another look at the night sky.

Eclipse are coming.

NASA says Space Shuttle Atlantis is go for launch at 2.45 PM

eastern this coming Thursday, February 7.

Steve Frick will command a crew of seven as they deliver the European Space Agency's

Columbus Laboratory module to the ISS. Have you seen the STDS 122 Mission Patch?

There's just a touch of another logo that is near and dear to all of us in the

planetary society.

Forget the face on Mars, how about the happy face? Check it out at Emily's blog where you can also read the

latest entry in the Dawn Mission Journal. That's at planetary.org. And here's one I could not

leave alone.

NASA's Deep Space Network has BeatleMania.

By the time you hear this, it may have transmitted a fab fore tune toward Polaris, the North Star.

Which song? Like you really have? toward Polaris, the North Star.

Which song?

Like you really have to ask?
