Another great conversation with Linda Spilker, this week on Planetary Radio.

Welcome, I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society with more of the human adventure

across our solar system and beyond. The Cassini Mission's project scientist is back,

with more news from a mission that officially ended nearly four years ago.

Data gathered as the great orbiter flew through the plumes above Saturn's moon and

celadus, has now been shown to be consistent with biological activity below the tiny world's

icy exterior. Linda has also rejoined the Voyager team as deputy project scientist, so some of her

thoughts are in the space between the stars. There's much more in our latest conversation with

Planetary Radio's most frequent guest. Bruce Betts is also thinking about Cassini and he'll

ask you about the spacecraft in his new What's Up Space trivia contest. We're all getting tired

of living in the virtual world, aren't we? Fortunately, as we stay safe, there are a couple of great

upcoming events that will let you set sail with light sail to and join Earth's smartest Martians.

First up at 1 p.m. Eastern, 1700 UTC on Saturday, August 28th, is the premiere of

sailing the light, the Planetary Society's beautiful new documentary about our light sail.

I hope you'll join Bill Nye, Bruce Betts, Jennifer Vaughn, and me right after the online screening

for a conversation about the project. Check out the trailer at youtube.com slash planetary

society, where you can also set a reminder. We'll head for the red planet next with our friends

at Explore Mars. Their humans to Mars summit is free this year, but you'll need to register.

I'll be co-hosting the stream and talking with a few of the outstanding guests and speakers.

This one is September 13th through 15. You can learn more and register on the Explore Mars website.
