Lost in Space, that's the Air of Mars this week on planetary radio.

Welcome, I'm at Kaplan of the the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across our solar system and beyond.

What happened to the Red Planet? Why did it lose the comforting blanket of air that made it warm and wet?

Now we know the answer, and Bruce Chikoski of the MAVEN mission will share it with us.

The night sky above Earth is crowded with planets.

We'll let Bruce Betts be our guide, as we also give away just one more

rubber asteroid. We learned last week that Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye the Science Guy has taken on a new project.

Bill welcome back.

Some folks might be a bit puzzled by the Planetary Society's involvement with the upcoming March for

science but I don't find it surprising at all. Well neither do I, Matt. There next

topic. No so so we are. The American Association for the Advancement of Science, many other the Geophysical Union, many other

scientific organizations are marching because we want to promote the idea that science is good for the economy.

Science is good for all of us.

Science gives us these remarkable innovations that enabled the United States and every country that

celebrate science and invest in science to have a higher quality of life for its citizens.

So there's been a movement of late to set science aside, to set the process of science

that enables us to make discoveries to create technology that serves so many of us.

There's been a movement to set it aside, so we're marching to remind everybody that it's important.

This is worth funding. This is worth investing in. This is worth celebrating.

And as we like to say, may the facts be with us.

Sounds good to me. Speaking of celebrating, how about that SpaceX success?

Hey man they stuck the landing as we say in gymnastics. Wow. So the idea everybody years
