This is the first of two episodes recorded at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona. This episode has two interviews. The first one, with Mark Sykes, the director of PSI, is about the PSI and planetary science in general. The second interview is with Beatrice Mueller about her research area, comets.

Hm, kann es sein, dass da etwas in der Linkliste schief gelaufen ist? Statt einen Link zu Ceres gibt es einen Link zu SIRIS.
Oops, in der Tat! Danke, gefixt!

When listening to Mark Sykes I was thinking about the exploration here over the past 500 years and the discovery of whole new worlds. I can see us soon wanting to ping neighboring star systems.
Beatrice Mueller gave an interesting insight to the foamy aspects of our solar system. I liked the image of the lighter elements bumping, bonding and building up out in the periphery and then falling into the middle with gravitational resonances.
It’s probably too late but when talking about the moon it would be good if you could ask just how much the moon moves the Earth’s crust either directly through gravity or indirectly through tidal pressure. Surely the weight of the extra water, particularly around this time of the year with the yule tides, has some effect.
All the best for 2013.
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it is indeed to late to ask questions for the moon episode :-)
Happy 2013 for you too!
