See this SoundCloud audio in the original post

The Solar System is in your hands

Careful, don't drop it, but do keep it warm... by exploring it!

The awesome DAY OF ACTION, led by The Planetary Society is coming up in less than a month, on March 8th, 2022 -- and you can still sign up! In honor of this awesome annual event, we're rebroadcasting this super fun show we did with CASEY DREIER of The Planetary Society which brings to life just how important, and how rewarding an experience each of you can have by getting involved, even with the simplest of means, in their your own country's space program. Check it out.

NASA just announced a new mission to VENUS...

How'd that happen? Did you know that you can play a role in exploring space? Yep. With a simple phone call you can keep space missions alive, and growing, and exploring! WHO YA GONNA CALL?

The hardest working man in planetary politicking is here to show us how: CASEY DREIER, The Planetary Society's Senior Space Policy Advisor and Chief Advocate. A lot of people don't know that ROCKETS are PEOPLE powered, and you play a role in lighting the fuse, should you choose to do so. Your passion, when conveyed to your government representatives, is an essential ingredient in getting our craft to land on other worlds.

Casey shows us how easy it is, and how important. Democracy to the solar system, you can help! Give a listen, and tell us your ideas for citizen participation in the greatest endeavor citizens have ever taken.
