I talked about some of the things I covered <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/badastronomy\/2010\/02\/01\/president-obamas-nasa-budget-unveiled\/\">in my earlier blog post<\/a>, but I also added some thoughts about where I see NASA going and what I see its role is.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have more to say about this soon; I&#8217;ve been thinking about it more and I&#8217;m scratching my head over some of it. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, EarthSky is a site filled with interviews from scientists, and has a lot of great content. They cut my interview into two versions; a short 90 second one, and a longer 8-minute on. Both are recorded and on that page. They put up a transcript for the shorter version, but I suggest you listen to the 8-minute version instead. <\/p>\n<p>I say that because whenever I read a transcript of an interview I&#8217;ve done, it reads like I&#8217;m on some sort of drug. But then I read transcripts from other people who are speaking extemporaneously, and they <em>all<\/em> sound that way. It&#8217;s funny how we parse information we read differently than that we hear. I swear it made sense when I said it&#8211; and I&#8217;m glad they have the interview recorded on that page as well. So again I&#8217;ll urge you to listen to the full 8-minute recording, since there&#8217;s more there than on the transcript anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/LE1Ntkt7dK6CoJvEQ26c5s1O3b4\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/LE1Ntkt7dK6CoJvEQ26c5s1O3b4\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap><\/a><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/LE1Ntkt7dK6CoJvEQ26c5s1O3b4\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/LE1Ntkt7dK6CoJvEQ26c5s1O3b4\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/BadAstronomyBlog\/~4\/WKouF-qsC4k\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/DiscoverMag\/~4\/QwT_gnOacoQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was recently interviewed on EarthSky about Obama&#8217;s budget and future plans for NASA.
