Episode: 106 Meet, Greet, and Tweet

On this episode, we are happy to welcome back our panelist Gene, who was plagued by a nasty side effect that has been called "The Kermit" as your voice sounds like a frog. Our main topic is the large discovery that was recently made of "significant amounts" of water being discovered on our nearest in-space neighbor, the moon. Along with that, we discuss NASA's attempts to Free Spirit from its current location and see if they can get it working or if it's in its final resting place. Plus, Gina discusses an amazing event involving astronauts for a scholarship, and the STS-129 NASA Launch Tweetup at the Kennedy Space Center. Also (as noted when you listen to the podcast) the link to more information on the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation can be found at http://www.astronautscholarship.org/ Host this week: Sawyer Rosenstein.
