Sorry for the short notice--it slipped my mind. I'm going to be live on The Space Show with David Livingston in about an hour. On the air in the Seattle area, and there's an internet feed here.

[Update afterward]

The interview went well, but I found out it wasn't broadcast live (thought it was on the internet). It was taped for a later broadcast. I also want to remind people that Bill Simon (transterrestrial webmaster) and I will be on the show next Tuesday. It's the thirty-fifth anniversary of the first Apollo landing, and we'll be talking about that, and the sedar-like ceremony that we developed to commemorate it.

If you're really into the significance of that date, it would be a good time to gather with family and friends, and have a dinner to help remember the first liberation of our species (and earthly life itself) from its homeworld, just as the Jews celebrate their liberation from Egypt at Passover.

Despite all the saturation coverage of space in the past year and a half, it would seem that we need such tools to educate ourselves about this new frontier, as Jay Manifold sadly points out today.

It might be more catchy if you called it "(Leaving) Earth Day." In the spirit of having celebrated the fourth on the fifth, you could also move the new holiday to May 1 to compete with the environmental types. Win-win?
