I will be doing the first hour with George Noory on Coast to Coast tonight, talking about space and science stuff. Should be fun, as always.

I will be doing a two hour appearance with David Livingston on The Space Show tonight, beginning at 7 pm. David had a slot open and asked if I’d like to fill it. I said yes, as these interviews are always fun.
Feel free to call in with questions.
I will be making a two hour appearance tonight on Coast to Coast with George Noory, from 10 to 12 pm (Pacific) to discuss both climate science (if such a thing exists any longer) as well as the U.S./Russian relationship in connection with ISS. As always, it should be fun.
This post will remain at the top of the page for the remainder of today.
For those who wish to listen to the podcast of my two hour appearance on the Space Show yesterday, you can get the podcast here. You can also comment on my discussion with David Livingston and his callers at the Space Show blog, or here.
The two major topics we discussed were first, Russia’s future in space in the context of that government’s effort to retake control of its entire aerospace industry, and second, the evidence that there is fraud and data manipulation going on in the climate research units of both NOAA and NASA. I also discussed some recent space science stories, such as Yutu on the Moon, Curiosity on Mars, and Cassini’s recent imagery of the lakes of Titan.
I will be appearing with David Livingston on the Space Show tonight, beginning at 7 pm (Pacific). The show is webcast live as well as podcast. Feel free to call in and ask questions or make comments.
Should be fun, especially considering the good start private space has had in 2014.
On the air: Tonight I will be guest for the first hour of Coast to Coast with George Noory. Our initial focus will be the various missions now at or heading to Mars, but who knows where things will go from there.
For those of you who wish to hear me talk at length about climate and space issues, I will be on the air tonight for about two hours on the Space Show with David Livingston.
And if that’s not enough, you can listen to me again for two hours tomorrow night, September 18, from 10 to 12 am (Pacific) on Coast to Coast with George Noory.
Should be fun, as always.
Tonight I will be appearing once again on Coast to Coast with George Noory, from 10 to 11 pm (Pacific), to talk about the end of the Kepler space mission as well as what the space telescope accomplished and will yet still accomplish. We should also touch upon some other space topics as well.
Tonight is radio night here at Behind the Black. I will be on two different syndicated radio shows, one in the United Kingdom, The Moore Show, followed by two hours live beginning at 10 pm (Pacific) on Coast to Coast with George Noory.
Both interviews should be a lot of fun. I intend to talk a bit about today’s SpaceShipTwo flight and how that lays the groundwork for the future of space travel. The subject of climate will also be a topic on both shows.
Tonight I am on The Space Show with David Livingston, so if you have any questions you’d like to ask me, you can do it tonight live, starting now (7 pm Pacific).
For those interested, tonight’s appearance on the John Batchelor Show has been extended to two segments, from 11 to 11:30 pm (Eastern). We will be talking about space and climate science.
Update: We lost power at around 12:30 am, and as of mid-morning Sunday the power was still not back. Thus, my posting will be light today. At the moment we are out at a local restaurant that has power (and food!), so I am using my laptop to post.
As I sit here waiting for Hurricane Irene to speed past Washington, DC, leaving behind a lot of water, some fallen trees, and the likelihood of a power outage, I thought I’d mention that I will be doing a special 30 minute appearance tonight on the nationally syndicated John Batchelor radio show at 9 pm (Eastern). Should be fun, with New York City shut down and me possibly doing the interview in the dark, with no power.
Update and bumped. The hurricane where I live here in the DC area has so far been quite mild, with only a few short bursts of heavy rain and hardly any wind. However, John Batchelor had so much fun with our discussion at 9 pm that I am coming back for another half hour at 11:30 pm (Eastern).
One more note: I consider the decision of Mayor Bloomberg in New York to shut down the subway and buses for the weekend to be downright madness. The subway should run until the last minute, in case people need to leave. Closing it so the government employees can get out is like a captain deserting his ship ahead of the passengers.
Unfortunately, this kind of political overreaction is what you get when you cede too much power to politicians. They have to act, if only to appear as they are doing something.
