Broadcast 687 (Special Edition)

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.
