“Starlight Zone” Interview Now Online

The interview that I (Nancy) did with the “Starlight Zone” radio show from station 2NUR FM in Newcastle, Australia back on June 19 is now online (or just listen below). It’s only five minutes long, so if you need a short diversion to your day…. We talked about the concept of a one-way trip to Mars and the Phoenix mission.

Col Maybury, who does the show was a very fun guy to talk with. Check out all the past interviews he’s done with various “spacey” people on 2NUR’s “Starlight Zone” website.

G’day!
