We welcomed Dr. Martine Rothblatt with Rod Pyle to this special program to discuss the Rothblatt Space Settlement In Our Lifetime Prize, https://spacebizplan.nss.org.  Martine was only with us for 30 minutes but during that time, she talked about shy space settlement was important, her vision for space settlement plus her vision for digitizing human consciousness in the future.  This was an exciting 30 minutes as Martine painted an exciting future which is plausible as you will hear.  Let us know what you think of her vision so please post your thoughts on our blog.  Martine had time to respond to several listener questions a call before leaving.  You can follow the tags and key words to this program for more detailed on what she had to say.

Martine left after her 30 minutes, then Rod Pyle took over.  Rod talked about Martine's vision, then we went into event logistics, business plan details, the actual competition, the prizes, and the event scheduled for Nov. 6-7 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.  Rod covered all the important details surrounding this event, plus near the end of our discussion Aggie called in and with Rod, talked about the invitation only NSS Space Summit Conference to be held at that Nov. 6-7 event at the Beverly Hilton.
