Dr. Paul Spudis was the guest for this Space Show program. We began the discussion by asking Dr. Spudis about the importance and value for our returning to the Moon and if Congress and others key to getting us back to the Moon really understand all of what we were talking about. Listen in as you will find the discussing quite interesting.

Doug Griffith was the initial guest for this Space Show program and as we began discussing liability, waiver, and other insurance issues for the developing personal spaceflight industry, but he was soon joined by Kelly Alton who wrote the X Prize insurance. This program was an in-depth discussion of all aspects of insurance, not just from the perspective of the spaceflight company but also from the view of a spaceflight participant and investors.

Dr. William Rowe returned to The Space Show today to discuss new information regarding the toxicity of lunar dust. Dr. Rowe recently had his paper on the subject published in the peer reviewed British Interplanetary Journal. The paper is available on Dr. Rowe's website, www.femsinspace.com/moondust.htm. I urge all of you to read the paper as you listen to the show or before this program as it will add to the understanding of what Dr. Rowe is referencing and talking about.

Dr. Gregory Berns was our guest for this Space Show program. Please note that this program was subject to excessive telephone line noise that could not be cleared up so the audio is not up to usual Space Show standards. We do apologize for this inconvenience. We began the interview with Dr. Berns explaining his scientific research to us regarding what motivates people, then extrapolating what he has discovered and applying it to the space industry, especially the entrepreneurial space community.

Dr. J. J. Hurtak was the guest for this Space Show program. Dr. Hurtak spoke with Space Show listeners about the importance of establishing ethical and other appropriate legal regimes to protect the space environment, further space development, and to protect the interest of all peoples on Earth regarding space.

Dr. Jim Wertz was the returning guest on The Space Show to discuss the upcoming Responsive Space conference from April 23-26, 2007 in Los Angeles, CA. We started the program with Dr. Wertz providing us with a definition of responsive space. We then talked about possible dual use capability for a path from responsive military space to commercial use. We also talked about US launch infrastructure and regulations being a barrier to rapid launches, especially when compared with Russia and other rocket launching countries. Several times during the program, Dr.

Dr. James Woodward was our guest for this Space Show program. Our discussion began with Dr. Woodward providing us with a basic definition for the Mach-Effect and Mach-Lorenz Thrusters. From here we went into a discussion of worm holes and some of the work of Dr. Kip Thorne and others. As Dr. Woodward is also a scientific historian, we were treated to the history of development of many of these related theories.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson was the guest for this special edition Space Show program. Dr. Tyson began the program with a short discussion about the high cost of space access and how that might impact his arena with space-based telescopes. Listen to his reply, you might be surprised by what he has to say. We then jumped to the first chapter of his new book, "Death By Black Hole." This first chapter, Coming To Our Senses, talks about the reality of science and more. It seemed an appropriate way to lead off talking about science and related subjects with Dr. Tyson on The Space Show.

Meghann Ribbens was the guest for this Space Show program. As Meghann is a PhD student at USC, we focused our discussion on what space is like for her generation and others in school, including high school. As we found out, its not a burning passion, a hot career subject or even a major point of interest for most her age. However, as she is in a molecular biology program, Meghann did stress the excitement and importance that people have around the search for and discovery of biological life on Mars or anyplace off Earth. You will certainly want to hear the full discussion of this subject.

Philippe Van Nedervelde was our guest today to discuss the Lifeboat Foundation with Space Show listeners. As you listen to this program, you might want to access the Lifeboat Foundation website at www.lifeboat.com. Philippe began the discussion with an introduction to the Lifeboat Foundation, what it is, its mission, how it views and wants to use space, and how it is planning for the future that is likely going to unfold in real time in the coming years, even if we don't want what he is talking about.
