It's our seventh anniversary this week on planetary Radio. Radio. Hi everyone, welcome to Public Radio's travel show that takes you to the final

frontier.

I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society and it has been my enormous

pleasure to greet you with those words for seven years. A special show today as

we look back toward our beginnings, and just incidentally, and the Thanksgiving

holiday period in the U.S.

Science fiction writer and futurist Arthur C. Clark was first heard on our show back in

March of 2003 when planetary radio was just a few weeks old.

We'll reprise that interview today.

We'll also take you back to one of Emily Lochualas's very first Q&A segments.

We can't really dip into the archives for What's Up with Bruce Betts, so that will be

brand new as will Bill Nye's commentary that is just a few seconds away. The votes are in. We're grateful to all of

you who let us know what you'd like to hear from Emily in future Planrad episodes. Almost all of you

told us you love Q&A, but you'd be even more pleased to hear the

Planetary Society Science and Technology Coordinator talk with me about the biggest space news story

of the week.

So that's what we're going to do beginning with our next episode.

Congratulations to the crew of Atlantis back on Earth after a successful trip to the International

Space Station.

Here's Bill.

Hey, Bill Nye, the Planetary Guy here, Vice President of the Planetary Society.

There's a lot going on in space.
