Emily's special report from the LPSC this week on planetary radio.

Welcome to the Travel Show that takes you to the Final Frontier.

I'm at Kaplan to the Final Frontier.

I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

You're used to hearing my brief conversations with Emily Lackawala

at the beginning of each show.

This is one of those weeks as the Planetary Society's senior editor returns from the Lunar and

Bruce Bats will make his usual interplanatory whistle stop to tell us what's up in the night sky, along with this week in space history and a new

random space fact.

We've got a very special prize for this week's space trivia contest.
