It’s a pleasure to announce that I’m returning to The Space Show (www.thespaceshow.com) global internet live radio program, on the morning of Friday, October 28, 2011, from 9:30 – 11 AM Pacific time.

Thanks to Dr. David Livingston, the show’s host, for inviting me. You can learn about him by visiting his personal website, www.davidlivingston.com.

We’ll explore the unfortunate state of U.S. education today and how it’s reminiscent of pre-Sputnik times in the 1950s just before the first Space Age was triggered. Also, we’ll dissect the eerie similarities between the 1890s and today in terms of parallel economic and political trajectories. The 1890s led to one of the most ebullient exploration and technology decades in the history of the U.S., including the age of polar exploration, the Panama Canal, and the incomparable Theodore Roosevelt. Despite our lagging recovery, is a new, near-term Space Age in the cards today? Plus we’ll look at the prospects for human bases on Mars by 2025!
