Hi all, I thought I'd start a thread for people to dump questions that they might think are good for Planetary Radio. Planetary Radio is The Planetary Society's weekly half-hour podcast. It features an interview by producer Mat Kaplan with a space scientist, engineer, advocate, or well-wisher, and three regular segments: news headlines, "What's up" with Bruce Betts, and a Questions and Answers segment that I read. Each week, Q and A addresses one question, with half of the answer given at the beginning of the show, and half toward the end, each half lasting between 1 and 2 minutes. I get lots of questions submitted but the majority of them can't easily be answered in this rather strict format, so I am always looking for more questions.

So, please post your questions! They don't have to be questions that you don't actually know the answers to -- also please consider submitting questions your friends and family ask you, as those are often some of the best. And, if you see a question here that you can answer, please don't hesitate to answer it and save me a little research work! biggrin.gif
