Special note and program dedication:  Former Space Show guest and friend Dr. Jordin Kare recently passed away.  I spent several minutes talking about Jordin and his work plus his previous Space Show programs.  He was also a regular at the famous Space Access Conference.  We will miss Jordin.  He left us and his family far too soon in life.  When you have time, please listen to Jordin's Space Show programs.  We even played his music on at least one of those programs.  Goodbye Jordin.  The Space Show and I will forever miss you.
