Summary

The counting continues as we publish this month’s special episode, with a handful of seats in the US Senate and House still up for grabs. But with the Democratic takeover of the House assured, and several longtime space advocates turned out, change is certainly coming. Dealing with the nation’s huge deficit also threatens NASA’s budget. Planetary Society Chief Advocate Casey Dreier welcomes back space policy expert Marcia Smith for an insider’s look at the aftermath and what may be ahead.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Casey here. I just want to address something right out at the start of the show.
0:05.0	Jason Callahan, the Space Policy Advisor for the Planetary Society, has moved on to Greenier Pastures and you will no longer unfortunately be hearing him on the Space Policy Edition.
0:16.2	So obviously we wish Jason the absolute best and the show will not be the same without him, but the show will

1:10.8	that nice tribute to our former colleague Jason right up front there.

1:23.4	Planetary Society, so we should also say that my role here has changed too. I'm now the
1:28.3	chief advocate of the Planetary Society, a very exciting new development for me, in addition to being the senior space policy
1:34.6	advisor to the organization as well.
1:36.8	So I'm going to be focusing a lot more on doing shows like this, communicating with our
1:41.2	members, doing a lot more analysis and new content going on
1:45.2	planetary.org and other places online. And we also have a brand new director of DC
