2. The Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012, program from 7-8:30 PM PST (10:00-11:309 PM EST, 9 PM-10:30 PM CST) welcomes back DR. ROBERT ZUBRIN. Bob will be discussing his new book and his latest article in the National Review Online regarding the saving of the Mars program per the President's proposed FY 13 budget. See www.nationalreview.com/articles/291099/obama-wrecks-mars-program-robert-zubrin.
Dr. Robert Zubrin is a noted author and the Founder of The Mars Society. The Mars Society, an international organization dedicated to furthering the exploration and settlement of Mars by both public and private means. Dr. Zubrin is also President of Pioneer Astronautics, an aerospace R&D company located in Lakewood, Colorado. Dr. Zubrin was formerly a Staff Engineer at Lockheed Martin Astronautics in Denver, he holds a Masters degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics and a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Washington. Zubrin is the inventor of several unique concepts for space propulsion and exploration, the author of over 100 published technical and non-technical papers in the field, and was a member of Lockheed Martin’s “scenario development team” charged with developing broad new strategies for space exploration. In that capacity, he was responsible for developing the "Mars Direct" mission plan, a strategy which by using Martian resources, allows a human Mars exploration program to be conducted at a cost 1/8th that previously estimated by NASA. Zubrin is known internationally as one of the most creative engineers working in the aerospace industry today, and he and his work have been subject of much favorable press coverage in The Economist, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, the London Times, The Washington Post, Fortune Magazine, Newsweek, Air and Space Smithsonian, Popular Science, Omni, Space News, and many other publications. He is the holder of two US Patents, and has two more pending. In addition to his technical publications, Dr. Zubrin is the author of "The Case for Mars: How We Shall Settle the Red Planet and Why We Must," published by Simon and Schuster’s Free Press Division in Oct. 1996, and “Entering Space: Creating a Spacefaring Civilization,” published by Tarcher Putnam in Aug. 1999, and “Mars on Earth” published by Tarcher Penguin in Sept. 2003. His book, “The Holy Land,” is a science fiction satire of the current situation in the Middle East. Dr. Zubrin has also written a play about Benedict Arnold. His latest book, "How To Live On Mars: A Trusty Guidebook To Surviving And Thriving On The Red Planet," is a must read

3. The Friday, Feb. 24, 2012, program from 9:30-11 AM PST (12:30-2 PM EST, 11:30AM-1PM CST) welcomes DR. JAMES BICKFORD Draper Labs. Dr. Bickford will be discussing antimatter and other advanced propulsion concepts.
Jim Bickford is currently a senior member of the technical staff at The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory. As a Draper staff member he has led nearly a dozen internal and external programs that range from very early stage development to fielding hardware systems. In particular, he conceived of and led a program funded by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) that looked at the natural production and mining of antiparticles for space missions. The program investigated the generation of antiproton radiation belts in planetary magnetospheres and developed advanced concepts for anti-proton storage and propulsion built around the concept of extracting antiparticles from the belts. He also supervised a MIT MS student thesis on the topic. Jim Bickford has also been active in a number of other areas. He was the technology development lead for the Draper/MIT Crew Exploration Vehicle study and the chair of the NASA Concept Exploration & Refinement technology infusion panel. He was also the Draper lead on a sensor for studying the chemistry of planetary surfaces and a program focused on networks of buoyant weather probes. Recently he has also been active in the energy sector and has developed a sensor to improve the efficiency of fossil fuel plants. Related to this, he was the program manager of a program focused on producing low cost health monitoring systems for equipment in power plants and was the Draper technical lead for an effort studying the use of clathrates for gas compression and carbon capture. He received a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Tufts University in 1997 and a M.S. in mechanical engineering from Tufts in 1999.

working with them to stabilize the system, at least for the benefit of
listeners, there is no assurance that shows will be able to be uploaded and

and problem resolution. I am aware of the problems and working to resolve them,
but you can always hear the programs on our website:
