Hey podcast listeners it's another one of our special messages. Wow what a

landing on Mars. I went on vacation immediately after that and our big Planet

Festival which is what you'll be hearing this week.

It's Planetary Radio Live recorded on the first day, Saturday, the day before the

landing at Planet Fest in Pasadena, California.

At that point, of course, we still didn't know that Curiosity had landed safely on the

Red Planet.

You'll only hear a small piece of the panel discussion we have with Scott Hubbard, Andrew

Chaken, and Bill Nye. But there will be more in next week's show and a lot more because

we talked for about 45 minutes I think pretty much all

of that in this online version of the show next week that's the show for the

week of August 20 here is is Planrad Live at Planet Fest. Go Curiosity.

When you wish upon a star.

From Planetfest 2012 Curiosity knows no bounds. This is Planetary Radio Live.

Here is your host, the Planetary And happy Mars Day everyone. Welcome to Public Radio's travel show

that takes you to the final frontier.

Every now and then we take our quiet little show

about space exploration on the road.

This time we're in the Pasadena Convention Center

with maybe a thousand close friends,

all of them in love with space and space science.

Am I right folks?
