Tune in for this special guest interview with the creator of Space but Messier!! Tony is a husband, father and science communicator in pursuit of his M.S. Space Studies & Astronomy. When he was younger, he thought he was too stupid to study space until a teacher helped him realize that he wasn't, and now his mission is to motivate and inspire future generations to really dive into their passions and pursue schooling and careers that give them purpose (specifically in space science). He hosts the Space, But Messier! Tiktok, and Youtube channel where he educates the general public about space with the goal of helping them realized they aren't too stupid to study it. https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceButMessier https://www.nautnormal.org/goals https://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2020/10/und-wins-grant-from-nasa-to-develop-3d-printed-spacesuits-2/ https://apusarg.wixsite.com/aarg/post/aarg-2i-mission-day-9 https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/update-nasa-seeks-comments-on-moon-to-mars-objectives-by-june-3 https://www.nasa.gov/analogs/nek/about Download the Callin app for iOS and Android to listen to this podcast live, call in, and more!

From cratering experiments to Moon tech, Titan and Pluto, Kirby has so much to share about his research and love of spreading space enthusiasm to everyone he meets!! Dr. Kirby Runyon is a planetary geologist and exploration architect at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab (APL). At APL he conducts cratering experiments by flinging sand, works on a Consortium focused on technology for the Moon, studies planetary surfaces from spacecraft images, and generally has fun exploring the solar system. More importantly, he's a lifelong space enthusiast who loves to "enthusiate" others with his own enthusiasm for space exploration. The Cosmos is more than something to know—the Cosmos is something to experience.

Fellow astronomer and science communicator Cheyenne aka The Black Space Girl is joining Space Talk chat all about what she's doing in her work & her astro outreach!!! *hint* it involves a super cool mobile observatory plan!! Cheyenne Smith has always had an interest in art and a love for science and believes both play a significant part in understanding the universe and world around us. Cheyenne holds a B.A. in communications and is working toward a degree in astronomy. Her love for the cosmos has led her to serve as a Solar System Ambassador for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and chapter coordinator for Science Heads, a non profit located in Orange County, California. In both volunteer positions, Cheyenne aims to encourage and address minorities in the field of astronomy. To help expand on these efforts, she has been working to build a mobile observatory to be featured in neighborhoods locally to share STEAM through astronomy. Cheyenne is an Earthling who loves Paris, faux fur, tea and picnics. Instagram, TikTok: @blackspacegirl Email: cheyenne@blackspacegirl.com The solar system ambassador program also offers exclusive professional development sessions for ambassadors. Cheyenne is also launching her own YouTube channel soon called Black Space Girl, so keep a lookout for that!! Eclipse Ambassador NASA program Announcement for Colleges - April 2022 Undergraduate students are invited to become Eclipse Ambassadors and help prepare their community for a pair of exciting celestial events! Two solar eclipses will soon cross North America - the first an annular solar eclipse on Oct 14, 2023, followed by a total solar eclipse on Apr 8, 2024. College students will be partnered with amateur astronomers and trained as Eclipse Ambassadors to bring NASA science and cultural connections of this natural phenomenon to their communities. Working with libraries and other partners, we hope to reach 500 communities across the country, with emphasis on traditionally underserved audiences. Join us to learn new skills, make connections, and share your love of science with the public! Undergraduates: Please help us better serve future Eclipse Ambassadors. Take 5 minutes to answer these questions and qualify for one of five $20 Target Gift Cards! https://forms.gle/8RdECwKSaiVbrGDr5 Deadline: April 30, 2021 To learn more and receive updates, please sign up for notifications here: www.eclipseambassadors.org This program is funded by NASA and administered by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
