Dr. Paul
Spudis was the guest for this Space Show program. We began the discussion by
asking Dr. Spudis about the importance and value for our returning to the
Moon and if Congress and others key to getting us back to the Moon really
understand all of what we were talking about. Listen in as you will find the
discussing quite interesting. In addition to talking about returning to the
Moon, we learned quite a bit about lunar geology, including the four theories
as to how the Moon was created, lunar climatology and impacts on Earth, how
the Moon can help us better steward Earth and much more. We had several
listener questions about solar radiation and its impact on the Moon and
Earth. We also talked about his new book written with his wife, Anne Spudis,
"Moonwake: The Lunar Frontier." The book which is readily available
including on Amazon is really for the younger population and is about a family
adjusting to life on another planet with all its dangers, excitement,
adventures, etc. I've read the book and certainly recommend it for all ages
but especially if you have kids that like science fiction and are ready for
high quality space adventure. In addition to listening to our discussion with
Dr. Spudis, visit his website which is www.spudislunarresources.com. Many of
Paul's papers, op-ed pieces and other items of interest are on his site. His
e-mail address for follow up questions and comments is pspudis@comcast.net. |
