Out & About – Young Sky Guides

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Coming up this Tuesday, June 22, at 9pm EDT (1am GMT). Join Jeff and Becca Setzer with Paul Harper  (aka HonorarySpock) in a special show, where “Young English Sky Guides” from the Kenley Primary School, Croydon, England, take over Out & About

The Sky Guides, are members of a school reporters club, who visited the Norman Fisher Observatory, on RAF Kenley to carry out an interview with myself for their school magazine. However, with the help of one their teachers this became a radio interview for Out & About. They interviewed me, about my work at the observatory.

They also had the opportunity, thru Skype to interview Jennifer Scheer (@flyingjenny), a NASA Technician and founder of the Space Tweep Society. This is a fascinating interview.
