The Beauty of Space,

of Space, captured in a book this week on planetary Radio. Radio. Welcome to the Travel Show that takes you to the Final Frontier.

I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

Do pictures speak louder than words? I'm Ad Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

Do pictures speak louder than words?

If so, pictures from over 100 artists should be overwhelming.

We'll talk with two top artists in the genre called Space Art,

about a new book called The Beauty of Space.

Then we'll travel to the Space 2011 conference

for a what's up visit with Bruce Vets

and some space happy fifth graders.

Emily will rejoin us next week when she returns from the annual meeting of the Division

for Planetary Sciences in France.

But we do have Bill Nye, the Executive Director of the Planetary Society,

Skyping in from yet another far-flung location. Bill, you are where?

In Cape Town, South Africa. And just got right a little while ago yeah and it's the

international astronautical Congress happens every year about this time and this is a little

bit unusual it's not just academia it's not just

space agencies it's not just industry people who make spacecraft it's all three

and so everybody gets together and talks about People who make spacecraft, it's all three.

And so everybody gets together and talks about things.

There's a lot of national pride at the opening ceremony, I'm sure,
