Radio interview about Stardust

Yesterday I did a live radio interview with my old friend Paul Harris who has radio show in St. Louis. We talked for a few minutes about Stardust. You can download the interview (3.25 Mb) from Paul’s site.

I remember listening to Paul when I lived in DC and he was on WMAL there I think it was, so it’s a kick to be on his show. He’ll be at The Amaz!ng Meeting next week too, and I’ll probably live blog from there as I did with the AAS meeting.

Hmm…it’s probably not a good thing that I just read Andromeda Strain for the first time today…

LOL…Good movie too, for its time.

Nice interview BA. It really put the importance of the mission in perspective. Your distinction between the local and interstellar particles wasâ€¦well, stellar.
Your website is a treasure trove of information and you did it all without aerogel. Thanks.

Thanks for the regular info. It’s easy to get bad information these days, and science is ripe for bad information. This is a breath of fresh air.

Thanks again!

A few weeks ago, it looked like George Weah might try to prevent the Iron Grandmother from taking power – a mediated sit-down seems to have smoothed things over. ($5 says Weah is named Minister of Youth and Sport. Any takers?) Imnakoyaâ€™s got pictures of the US delegation – Condi Rice and Laura Bush – as well as links to other posts on the topic.

When I lived in Japan, I ended up watching a lot of Sumo on television. Itâ€™s a really fascinating sport, and thereâ€™s much more to it than two obese Japaneseâ€¦

I finally got a chance to listen to your interview. You really sounded excited, and that’s what we need- more people who actually sound excited about science and astronomy. Great stuff – keep up the good work.
