John Batchelor and I welcomed back Dr. David Grinspoon to discuss that part of the "Chasing New Horizons" story dealing with getting a planetary mission approved, into the NASA system and launched.  This is an excellent Lessons Learned discussion on how to that as a severe underdog as Dr. Grinspoon told the story of New Horizons, NASA, and the lessons learned on this Hotel Mars segment.  I'm quite sure you will find this story to be of great interest.  It is a two segment program for approximately 23 minutes, including the break and Batchelor's in-between segment music.

Please post comments/questions on The Space Show archive blog page for this program.  You can get the book through Amazon and if you do, please use TSS/OGLF Amazon portal (see Amazon on TSS homepage) as Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to TSS.  You can find out more about Dr. David Grinspoon at his website, http://funkyscience.net
