Searching for exoplanets with Deborah Fisher this week on planetary radio. on Planetary here. I'm Matt Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

Astronomer Deborah Fisher has moved to Yale University since we last talked with her,

but her search for other worlds goes on.

She'll tell us about a new effort that will rely on one of the Keck

telescopes in Hawaii. Emily Lachawala will recount our up close and personal

visit with curiosity, the Mars Science Laboratory Rover, now almost ready for its trip to

Cape Canaveral from JPL. Keep an eye out for the video of our time with Curiosity. We'll post it soon. Bill Nye says these are exciting times

for commercial space development and Bruce Betts knows it just takes a clear

night sky for exciting times under the stars. We'll celebrate the 50th anniversary of

humans in space and the 30th of the first space shuttle launch. Speaking of the space shuttle

looks like I spoke too soon last week.

The 10-day delay of endeavors launched to April 29th

may keep both Bill Nye and me at home.

You see our roast and and Toast of the Planetary Society's founding executive

director Lou Friedman is the next day. We'll still bring you special coverage of the Shuttle

Life Experiment. You can read about Shuttle Life and the Roast and Toast at planetary.org.

Here's another event you can be part of, It's Plan Rad Live,

our live taping of a special edition of this show.

My special guest will be Mike Pluto Killer Brown of Caltech and Bill Nye, the Science

Guy.

Mike will sign copies of his book, How I Killed Pluto, and Why It Had It Coming.

That's Planetary Radio Live Saturday, May 28 at KPCC Southern California Public Radio's
