Join us for the launch of Light Sale this week on planetary radio.

Welcome to the travel show that takes you to the Final Frontier.

I'm at Kaplan of the Planetary Society.

On May 20th, I finally saw a rocket lift off.

And I was among friends, hundreds of them.

If you weren't there, I hope you'll stay with us

as we take you to the launch of AFSCC5,

the Air Force Space Command 5 mission,

an Atlas 5 rocket carrying the X-37B orbital test vehicle and just below it 10

tiny cube-sats. You'll hear from Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye and many of the men and women on the Air Force, United

Launch Alliance, and Light Sale teams. But before we take you to Florida, let's

visit with senior editor Emily Loch Duwala.

Emily, it's back to series with your blog entry from the 22nd of May.

Lots of great stuff coming back, but tell us what Ice Weasles and Schmuts have to do with this story.

Well, you see, the ice weasles are flying around their vertical takeoff and landing

capable jet fighters on the surface of series.

And that's what makes the little black dots that are appearing

on all these series images. No, so anyway they released this amazing animation

that had 51 different frames on series. That's 51 photos they released in one day which is just

tremendous and it's an animation that shows more than one day's rotation on

series so you can see all these really cool features rotating in and out of

view but you also see these black dots jumping all over the place.
