Don't Miss Voyager Head Scientist Ed Stone on the Colbert Report

In the most ernest segment of the Colbert Report I've seen in a while, Voyager chief scientist (and Planetary Society member!) Dr. Ed Stone was interviewed about the Voyager mission. He highlighted some of the famous pictures from the mission, as well as the launch on the old-school Titan IV rocket way back in 1977.

Stephen Colbert honored Stone with NASA's Distinguished Public Service Medal at the end of the show.
