My first conversation with the great Sally Ride, this week on Planetary Radio.

Welcome, I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across

our solar system and beyond.

I'm back from vacation, but not in time to produce an entirely new episode of our show.

Oh, we've got a new WhatsApp visit with Bruce Betts, and you're about to hear my colleague,

Planetary Society Editor, Ray Paletta, give us the latest on that Queen of Storms Jupiter's

Great Red Spot.

Headlines from the downlink are weekly newsletter will also have to wait till next week, but

it's always a good read at planetary.org slash downlink.

The main feature in this week's show is something I've wanted to share again for many years.

Sally has always been very special to me, and not just because she was the first American

woman in space.

It's much more who she was, and what she did with her life after her two missions on

Space Shuttle Challenger.

And that's most of what you'll hear her talk about right after we visit with Ray.

Ray, welcome back to Planetary Radio.

Are we losing the well as someone in your article calls it?

The GRS?

Well, Matt.

Thanks, first of all, for having me back.

Secondly, we're just not sure yet.

I think we'll have to wait and see.
