Welcome to the November Space Policy Edition of Planetary Radio. We are very glad to have you.

I'm at Kaplan the host of Planetary Radio. I'm at Kaplan, the host of Planetary Radio.

I joined again as always by Casey Dreyer,

the chief advocate and senior space policy advisor

for the Planetary Society.

Casey, I can't imagine what we're going to talk about. There's nothing going on.

Yeah, well, I figure we'll wing it this episode, Matt. We'll figure out something.

Well, thank goodness we'll have help from Brendan Curry, the Chief of Washington Operations for the Planetary Society.

Brendan, great to have you back.

Thanks Matt and it's a great feedback with you fellows.

Looking forward to talk about all types of interesting stuff.

We'll address at the top of the show the top of the ticket.

The fact that virtually every news organization, as we speak, has declared the race for Joe Biden of course there are

still those in the country who are taking a wait and see attitude and in some

cases worse but I think at least as we speak a couple of days

before this show is published the result does seem pretty clear. Casey

anything to say about the race to become the next president?

Mathematically there. I think we're waiting for a delayed acceptance of that, but we have

Joe Biden presidency to plan for both here at the society and for space policy. So no matter what the

official you know the electors meet for the electoral college in mid-December

they will vote and then at January 20th we will have a new president.

All right let's move on to other races that will also have a very very big effect
