Ms. Irene Schneider was the guest for this Space Show program. We focused the interview on radiation issues regarding the human exploration of Mars. As part of this discussion, space radiation in general was discussed in some detail, starting in LEO, going to the Moon, staying on the Moon, Mars, settling on Mars, and elsewhere in space. We also talked about what makes a planet habitable and Ms. Schneider's thesis research topic which addresses the evolution Mars as a habitable climate and place for some sort of biological life to have existed in the past.

Charles Pooley was the guest for this Space Show program. Mr. Pooley discussed his company, Microlaunchers, and also the subject of microlaunch vehicles, i.e., starting small and growing to larger and more successful launch vehicles. He points out that starting out in the rocket business by making large rockets has a track record leading to failure. Mr. Pooley's approach is to start small, with 1 lb. satellites or cubesats, launching a total payload of 8 lbs. to LEO.

Kerry Scarlott was the guest for this program which focused on a detailed discussion of ITAR and EAR. ITAR is the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and EAR is the Export Administration Regulations. Mr. Scarlott started the discussion with an ITAR primer, making sure we understood the reason for ITAR, its evolutionary history, how it is applied, what is subject to ITAR, and the challenges in following the ITAR regulatory requirements. As Mr.

Monte Davis was the guest on this Space Show program. Mr. Davis explained the need for markets and demand for developing space commerce and compared the national imperative of the Apollo era to what we have today in the space field. He discussed the realities of chemical rockets, what to expect from them in the future, and how he believes we should focus our energies to enhance the possibilities for being successful in some of the forthcoming private space ventures, including space tourism. Mr.

Robert Zimmerman returned to The Space Show for this program. We began the discussion with Bob giving us his first hand report from the recent Frank Borman comments about Space Ship One being a stunt and the reaction to his comments, both from the audience (they applauded) and on www.spacepolitics.com. We then discussed the Lunar Robot Lander program scheduled as part of our Return to The Moon program for around 2010-2011. This took us into a rather detailed discussion about NASA, the vision, Dr.

Rick Tumlinson returned to The Space Show for a very special two hour program. This interview addressed many important subjects and topics. We started by having Rick summarize the recent Space Frontier Foundation Annual Conference held in Los Angeles and the architecture being used by NASA to return to the Moon. This afforded Rick the opportunity to talk about the program, NASA, Congress, and Dr. Griffin, NASA's Administrator. This is a must listen to discussion, especially for anyone interested in the why of our need to settle the space frontier.

Al Globus was the guest for this Space Show program. Al's special interest is space settlement and this program was largely devoted to stating the case for space settlement, how it can be done, why it should and in fact must be done, and how to make the case for space settlement with the general public and political leaders. We also talked about space resources, solar power, nanotechnology and its application in getting cheaper launch costs, space tourism including both suborbital and orbital, the U.S.

Dr. Philip R. Harris was the guest for this Space Show program. We began the discussion with Dr. Harris pointing out the need to reach the youth of our country and world in order to bring them into a space-faring consciousness, not only for their own sake, but for the betterment of humanity. As Dr. Harris said, it would help our youth focus and turn outward, not inward. Its an important discussion that you will certainly want to hear.

Dr. Eligar Sadeh returned for this Space Show program. Our discussion focused on the management content implemented at NASA with the NASA Administrator, Dr. Mike Griffin. Dr. Sadeh is concerned that the management being implemented at NASA contains within it some very destructive elements and he discusses these elements on the show. We also discussed private and public partnerships for space development, including the space advocate community side by side with the large aerospace industry and NASA. In our discussions regarding NASA management and Dr.

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. We also discussed the economic feasibility of even a pilot program, the likelihood of the public sector doing such a program, the private sector, or both. Dr.
