Hello to anyone listening out there and Space Show listeners. I'm the host of The Space Show, Dr. David Livingston, and The Space Show is now bringing you another Deep Space Message. This message comes to you from Leonard and Barbara David of Colorado. Leonard and Barbara, on behalf of The Space Show, we appreciate your participating in our Deep Space Program. Dr. David Livingston, Host The Space Show Deep Space Message – From Leonard and Barbara David Hello out there from over here… Glad we caught your ear or antenna or any other bio-audio device you’ve got plugged in.

Guests: Leonard David was the guest for three segments of our program, followed by Barbara David joining us for the last segment. We did much forward-looking during this show given the changes taking place in government, the economy, and the space community. We talked about the incoming administration and what it might mean for space, the Space Coast of Florida, and its commitment to human space flight, the economy, viewing the Space Shuttle, and much more. Leonard reported on the recent Lunar Lander Challenge and Armadillo Aerospace at the X-Prize in Las Cruces, NM.

This Golden Oldie Space Show programs features Leonard David from October 2001 and Dennis Wingo from November 2001. When you hear what they said back then, go back in time with them as they were both on just after 9/11. Do a comparison with then and now. How have things changed, where has the progress been, where are we stagnating based on these two interviews. Your feedback is always welcome. Remember, these older programs were one hour shows on the old Phoenix station and each show had commercial breaks at 15 minute intervals.

SmallSat Conference interviews make up this special recorded Space Show program. While at SmallSat, I interviewed just a few of those attending to get their perspective on either what they were doing at the Conference and why they were there, or their views on small satellites and updates regarding space development. For example, the first interview was conducted at the booth representing the Reagan Test Site at Kwajalein Island (www.smdc.army.mil/RTS.html).

Leonard David returned to The Space Show for this program. Leonard talked about his work at space.com, current articles and future research for articles that he is presently doing. He provided his thoughts on the shuttle, the vision program, Mars, NASA and the public interest in space, and lots more. We spoke about energy from space, global warming, the private-sector and space launch, including space tourism. As the senior writer at space.com, Leonard David took us through the subjects and topics that drive and make the space program today, both public and private.
