Guest: Donna Shirley. Donna Shirley returned to The Space Show for this Friday program. We started our program with an overview of planetary science missions and the overall state of planetary science. Ms. Shirley discussed several specific missions including the Mercury Messenger, the probes currently on their way to Pluto, Jupiter, Mars, as well as a future lunar mission. Our conversation then took us into the realm of education, the current state of science and space awareness, and how best to address the problems we all know exist.
