Water on the Moon!

Airdate: Monday, October 5, 2009
Running Time: 00:28:52
Listen: Windows Media | MP3

University of Maryland Senior Research Scientist Jessica Sunshine was part of the recent discovery of water on Earth's Moon. Bill Nye the Science and Planetary Guy says Viking 2 came ever so close to uncovering water ice on Mars.  Emily Lakdawalla's Q&A says New Horizons won't close its eyes when it reaches Pluto. Listeners tell us how they'd destroy the Earth in this week's What's Up segment with Bruce Betts and Mat Kaplan.  An impactful space trivia contest, too.
