Greetings podcast

podcast listeners this is Matt having greeted you this way in a while

but did want to take one more opportunity to first of all thank those of you who've donated to help save the show

it has meant a tremendous amount to us and has helped

to assure the future, at least for the time being, of Planetary Radio.

And so once again, we are incredibly grateful.

We do have another favorite ask, especially of you folks who are listening to this,

perhaps via iTunes or your favorite podcast aggregator.

Pretty much all of them allow you to submit your rating of the

podcast that you listen to and even to write a review. Some folks out there have written glowing reviews of Planetary Radio that we see on iTunes

and we are very grateful for that because that means other people are going to find the radio show give us a shot.

If you have a moment, we do have this favor to ask, please give us a rating, award us some stars, whatever you think is is appropriate and if you have an extra

couple of minutes write one of those reviews they make it very easy at iTunes and

pretty much all the other places that you may find our radio show each week.

Thanks a lot for listening. Here's the show. The Meaning of Life, this week on Planetary Radio.

Hi, everyone. Hi everyone welcome to Public Radio's travel show that takes you to the

final frontier. I'm Mad Kaplan. Sorry to disappoint but the life we're talking about is the living interplanetary flight experiment.

And the guy managing this experiment is our own Bruce Betts of the Planetary Society.

Bruce will tell us how an international team plans to send living organisms to Mars's Moon

Fobos and return them to Earth.

Good thing they're not going farther into our solar system.

Bill Nye, the science and planetary guy, will talk about a scarce resource that might make future
