Good morning all. Yep, last nights show was a keeper. I noticed that the group also appreciated some of the questions I received. Well Gang, for what it is worth ... I think Lucia is a "Plant" and is one of the users here. A user that also writes and calls under their own name. I am pretty sure ... enough to bet $10.00 bucks that I know who it is ... also. Sometimes it is HELL being a former Dick ...

I think you have alot of listeners but most of them download later. Lets be honext its 1 am back east when your show starts and many listeners are in europe or australia.

Lets be honest you probably have thousands of listeners

Unfortunatley my phone died leaving me without a phone for the meantime it will be about a week until i get a new one. That means I wont be able to call for a while.

That means someone else has to take my place in the phone call ritual.
 
Listening to this episode right now, and just got to the issue of star maps, where to go and all that jazz. Right before I listened to it, I sent in my review of Nick Redfern's NASA CONSPIRACIES and KEEP OUT (pending publication) where I briefly discuss the Kepler program.

Here's an excerpt:

"Kepler is a space-based observatory set to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. Recently it was announced that our galaxy alone appears to host 160 billion star-bound planets. A few million of those might hit the 'goldilocks' zone capable of sustaining known life forms.

The curious thing is that all of Kepler data was supposed to be freely and immediately available to the public for research purposes. Yet a few years back there was a sudden announcement that the results would be edited before release with a couple of years' delay. I haven't yet seen the conspiracy buffs run with this topic, but but I'd like to see what they can find."
