NASA budgets

Guests:  Rod Pyle and Aggie Kobrin;  Topics:  The Feb. 4th NSS Space Settlement 2021 virtual program, ISDC plans, private and government space programs, plus much more.

A Special Note To Listeners:  There was a streaming glitch for the approximately 11 minutes before listener emails reported the problem.  I restarted the streaming servers  and picked up the interview where we left off.  For the archives, I stripped in a backup recording of those first 11 minutes from an SD chip that records separate from the servers.  While the audio was not as good as the main program audio, all of the program is available as nothing was lost.
