We are joined by Blair Allen of NASA Edge, a monthly-esq videocast with an inside and outside look of all things NASA.  How did Blair start at NASA, how was NASA Edge formed, what can we expect in the future and why isn’t NASA Edge distributed in HD are just a few questions we answer.

In news this week we cover the upcoming Phoenix mission to Mars, STS-124 and her payload, Indonesia launches a rocket in to space, fly through a mars valley, sending satellites to the sun and watch the ISS station fly overhead this week.

Make sure to join us live this Sunday for the landing of the Phoenix Mars rover and the following Sunday for the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery for STS-124!  Full details on times can be found in our calendar.

    Hi!
    first of all: great show! I’m quite interested in spaceflight myself. Also I’m a firm supporter of things like Wikipedia, where people from all walks of life come together to acomplish a goal. I was wondering if you needed any help finding news, video, images… I’d offer to make the spacenews graphic but I’m just not that good at those kin of things. Also I have a question: Is there any way to find out how many people watch the vidcast?

    please get back to me

    tnx
