Planetary Radio: Space Exploration, Astronomy and Science

Planetary Radio is the most hopeful, and the most humane, place on the internet. Every episode gives us a chance to feel connected, included, and welcomed, whoever we may be or wherever we may be coming from. Every episode gives us a chance to experience awe. This is what it means to be one human family, headed inexorably Ad Astra. I am so grateful for the weekly reminder of what we can be when we're at our best and doing great things together <3

Casey begs for the listeners to become a member and donate to them on one hand, while he promotes billionaires’ business ventures on another hand. Republicans keep raising taxes for regular people, by way of tariffs, and lowering taxes for rich people, by way of the Big Beautiful Bill, making regular people even poorer. But that doesn’t stop this podcast from begging for more donations from regular people. Somehow the rich keep getting richer while the rest of us keep getting screwed. This is not common sense to be begging for donations while people are hurting greatly from this Republican administration.

As an artist living in the USA, I have always been interested in the mysteries of the night sky and how little old me figures into the grand scheme of space! I always inspired by the Apollo missions. It might have been my innocence of youth that made me think everyone loved space flight and exploration of the universe like me! Out on the farm where I grew up, it was so dark at night that one could see satellites, planets, the edge of the Milky Way and what I called “foreverland ”! Outer planetary exploration via telescopes like Hubble expanded my mind and then influenced my art. It also made me realize how wonderful is our home, Earth! I was dismayed that climate change caused such derision in our politics. The longer I live and love outdoor spaces, I see rapid changes in our climate. I could go on but want to thank all of you at The Planetary Society for expanding sometimes blowing my mind with science and space research. - Judy

Sarah is a wonderful host, asks thoughtful questions and always keeps me coming back to listen.

Because they are part of the Musk cult.
