Off to Pluto and Its Three Moons with Alan Stern

New Horizons Principal Investigator Alan Stern returns to Planetary Radio as the first mission to Pluto prepares for launch. Alan is also the recent co-discoverer of two new moons at Pluto. Emily Lakdawalla tells us how they get those great movies back from accelerating rockets. Bruce Betts knows What's Up in the night sky, and still has time to give away a t-shirt before lunch. Space headlines, too.
