Welcome space policy fans to the April 2017 edition of the Space Policy Edition of Planetary Radio.

I'm at Kaplan, the host of Planetary Radio, joined once again by our two Space Policy and Science Experts, as I think they're going to prove to you today.

Jason Callahan, the Space Policy Advisor for the Planetary Society.

Welcome Jason.

Hey Matt, hey Casey, how you guys doing? And Casey Dreyer, the director of space policy

for the planetary society. Guys, welcome back. I've been looking forward to getting together

again and talking about, oh yeah, of course we're going to talk about the budget because we have to, right?

But it's the second topic that's going to come up today as we talk about big science that that is just something that has been

important to me my whole life and I know that it is to you guys just from the

preliminary conversation that we've already had before we get into, we want to remind everybody that if they go to

planetary.org, first of all they should take a look at our gorgeous new website, which is brand

new, the design is up this week and it is such an

improvement I'm not embarrassed anymore to send people to planetary.org but if they

go there they can see how they can directly support the work that Jason and

Casey and a new edition that Casey's going to tell us about are doing on behalf of the society,

on behalf of our members and everybody out there all of you who

believe in space exploration and space science you can do that at planetary.org

make your donation.

Casey?

Well, Matt, I just want to another minute to just reinforce what my co-host, Matt is talking

about here.

The Advocacy and Space Policy Program at the society, just to give a little context.
