A digital message for the stars 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.

Voyager 1 has entered interstellar space,

carrying with it a message from Earth.

Now there's a new effort to put another message,

a digital one, on the New Horizons spacecraft that has been on its way

to Pluto for nearly eight years.

John Lomberg is the major force behind the New Horizons Message Initiative.

He'll fill us in and offer an opportunity to get involved.

Bill Nye has been refreshed by the discovery of water by the Curiosity Rover, lots of it

right now on Mars.

While Bruce Betts will point us toward a majestic triangle now visible in the night sky.

He and I might also have a hoodie and other swag from the movie Gravity waiting for you in the space trivia contest.

We'll begin with Emily Lochuwala, reporting to us via her cell phone from Colorado.

Hi Emily, exactly where are you right now?

I'm right now at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Denver for the

Division for Planetary Sciences meeting.

All right since you're on location we're going to forgive the poor audio quality today and hope that the audience does the same.

For anybody who may not remember, tell us a little bit about DPS.

What's this about?

Sure, well, it's one of the two big planetary science meetings that takes place each year,

the other being Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
