Idi-ho, podcast listeners, this is getting to be kind of a habit, isn't it? We won't keep

this up forever, but we are going to keep at you for a little bit longer about the support

that we very much need to keep this radio show going.

So you're going to hear Lou Friedman's pitch once again in the middle of the show asking you

to go to planetary.org slash radio where you'll find that link

and remember that you can donate to the radio show in any amount

without becoming a member of the society

but all those donations

over $50 will result in your receiving a planetary radio t-shirt, the one you've

been waiting for, no doubt. Thank you once again to all of you who have major very generous

support available to the show. It is as always very very much appreciated and if

you've been thinking about it please make the jump

make the jump to light speed and support the show thanks very much and here's

planetary radio.

A chat with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's top scientist this week on planetary radio.

Hi everyone, welcome to Public Radio's travel show that takes you to the final frontier.

I'm Matt Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

Fans of exploration that you are, you're probably well aware that the first American

missions in a decade are now circling the moon.

We'll talk with Project Scientist Richard Vondrack about what the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

will soon be telling and showing us about our only natural satellite.

And we'll stay up there for this week's What's Up segment with our friend Bruce Betts.
