Space, SETI, the Singularity, and Shostak, 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.

Astronomer and longtime leader of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Seth Shostakak was just one of my guests a couple

of weeks ago at the first ever space tech summit.

You'll hear the entire conversation.

Love bad impressions?

Nah, I didn't think so.

You may want to skip the middle portion of this week's What's Up segment,

but Bruce Betts does offer a great impression of the night sky and this week in space history.

Did you watch the State of the Union address in the U.S. Capitol?

Up in the gallery was a special guest of Representative Jim Brightenstein, the Republican lawmaker who has been

nominated to be the next NASA administrator. Bill Nye the Science Guy,

CEO of the Planetary Society, had just spent hours and hours walking the halls of Congress

talking space exploration.

Bill, welcome back. You know, on this week's are what I should say the current space policy edition we talk with

Matt Renninger who is your compatriot on Capitol Hill a few days ago.

Tell us about the day that you guys had. So we went from congressional office of

congressional office. We went to six different office buildings. You know, around the

U.S. Capitol are office buildings that run the government where the senators and congresspeople

sit with their staffs.

Everybody supports space exploration, Matt.
