Back to the Air and Space Museum this week on planetary Radio. Radio. Welcome to the Travel Show that takes you to the Final Frontier.

I'm Matt Kaplan of the Planetary Society. That's the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum,

if you please, the world's greatest aerospace collection

and the most popular museum in the world.

As you may have heard last week, we were there in April to record Planetary Radio Live.

Our plans came crashing down when our audio recorder crashed, but with luck and some professional data recovery assistance, we're able to present

most of what we recorded in the museum's Moving Beyond Earth Gallery.

This week that will include the second half of our conversation with museum curator David

Devorkin, Space Policy Institute founder John Logston, and Bill Nye, the Science Guy.

But we've also got Emily Lochuolas special contribution and later in the program you'll hear a fragment of our musical performer that evening,

They are worlds just as exciting to explore.

Things like the Galilean satellites of Jupiter,

whose names are Aio, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

Things like the moons of Saturn whose names are Mimus,

Tethys, Dioni, Raya, Titan, Hyperion, and Phoebe.

Things like the moons of Uranus, which if I can get this one,
