Guest: Brian Hanley was the guest for this Space Show program addressing the issue of bioterrorism. Our far ranging discussion covered not just the subject of bioterrorism and its agents such as anthrax, but how the health care system and public health are primary biodefense. As you will hear, natural disease is a far greater killer than bioterrorism has yet been, and a greater killer than wars also.

Dr. David Criswell returned to The Space Show for this program to discuss in greater detail his plans for commercial lunar solar power power. Dr. Criswell, assisted by listener questions and calls, outlined how such plans could work, the quantity of energy that could be delivered with such a system, the state of our technology and engineering today to have such a system in place, the timing, and the costs.
