Welcome back, everybody, to the Space Policy Edition of Planetary Radio.

I'm Matt Kaplan, the host of the Weekly Show at Planetary Radio, joined as always for

this monthly installment of SPE by the Senior Space Policy Advisor for the Planetary

Society.

He is also our chief advocate.

Welcome, Casey Dreyer.

Hey, Matt.

Glad to be back.

Good to have you.

And we have a number of things to get to before we get to a terrific, a second appearance

by the great Bavia Law on the Space Policy Edition.

You're going to talk with her today just a tease here about nuclear propulsion or other

forms of nuclear energy, and how handy those would be out there or beyond Earth.

The nuclear option at Mars, just not the one that's been not at the polls, but to get

there faster and more efficiently.

Really interesting discussion, really interesting stuff happening behind the scenes for a lot

of us, something that the Planetary Society is getting very interested in, and how that

could be used, not just for, frankly, getting humans to Mars, but where else in the solar

system can we benefit from that type of power and propulsion.

So really fascinating stuff happening and very exciting potential future related to

that.

So we will go into the details with that with Bavia.
