159 – The Planetary Society with Dr. Louis Friedman

Dr. Louis Friedman was one of the founders of the Planetary Society with Bruce C. Murray and Carl Sagan. He was nice enough to share some Anni-matter Double IPA from Stone Brewing and chat about starting the Planetary Society, exploring space, the universe, and how to keep people excited about figuring out what this whole thing is. A chat with Nate Chappell starts things off.

Join in with some Double Nut Brown from Mammoth Brewing to hear how she ended up in her position and what we might be up to next in the world of space exploration. A chat with Non Wels starts things off.

The Planetary Society

If you are unfamiliar with the Planetary Society, please visit their site and familiarize yourself a bit. Not only will you be more connected to Carl Sagan (and Bruce Murray and Louis Friendman), but you’ll potentially be on the front end of helping to make sure that exploration continues. This story about the Pluto fly-by will give you a better idea of just how integral society — and the Planetary Society in particular — can be in making sure that budgets and red tape don’t get in the way of exploring the universe we live in. And you can become a part of it by joining. What are you waiting for?
