Welcome, everyone, to our weekly space hangout for Thursday, September, what is it?

19th, 2012.

This week, we're going to be talking about the fact that NASA is working on a warp drive

near Armstrong, buried at sea.

Curiosity is going to be examining its first rock discovery of the oldest, furthest,

youngest galaxy.

And there was one more story.

Oh, right, an eclipse of Phobos, seen from the surface of Mars.

So joining me this week for the weekly space hangout is my regular crew.

We've got Amy Shirtitle from Vintage Space.

We've got Dr. Ian O'Neill from Discovery Space.

We've got Jason Major from University Day and Lights in the Dark.

We've got Tynance Yakonson, editor at University Day.

And we've got Dr. Nicole Galucci, the noisy astronomer from Cosmo Quest.

So I think I want, what do I want to talk about first?

I think I want to talk about the warp drive, warp drive warp drive.

So that was such a cool story.

Ian, what?

So you, I know, I don't know if you worked on this story directly, but I know that Discovery

posted a really big story on this.

So what's the news on this?

Yeah, I was actually at the 100 year starship symposium over the weekend.
