Planetary Radio

Northrop Grumman Space Technology President Alexis Livanos

Airdate: Monday, September 8, 2008
Running Time: 00:28:52
Listen: Windows Media | MP3

Engineer, scientist, and executive Livanos talks about his company's fifty years of support for space science, the status of the James Webb Space Telescope, and his passionate concern about climate change and Earth observation. Bill Nye the Science (and Planetary) Guy says LIFE is good...that's the Society's Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment, which will send bacteria on a round trip to Phobos. Bruce Betts and Mat Kaplan consider the space food stick along with the night sky, and serve up another space trivia contest.
