The following is posted on the Mars Society website:

"Dr. Zubrin is scheduled to return to The Space Show for an interview regarding returning to the Moon, the SEV, the announced NASA architecture for RTM, etc. He will be on the program live on Monday evening, Dec. 19, 2005 from 7-8:30 PM Pacific Standard Time [3-4:30 AM, 20 Dec GMT]. You can hear the interview live by going to www.thespaceshow.com and clicking on "Listen Live" near the top of the page, then choosing the streaming service of their choice and following the instructions for the appropriate media player."

A lot of people here may have seen this, but I thought it worth a heads-up for those who haven't.

I've heard his name being mentioned before. Who is he, or more to the point, what importance does he hold?

This Wikipedia article gives the basics.

He's a brilliant speaker. I heard him describe his Mars Direct plan at Milton Keynes a few years ago, and he's totally convincing, as well as quite funny.

"Zubrin holds a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Rochester (1974), a masters degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics, a masters degree in Nuclear Engineering, and a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering -- all from the University of Washington."

Clever fella. Would be interested in hearing what he has to say about things, so I'll have a look.

Huh?

Last time I actually saw Zubrin was when he made a presentation to the house committee after the Columbia tragedy.   He fluffed the appearance by looking like an over-enthusiastic amateur.

His ideas are pretty good, but his presentation skills aren't "brilliant".

Three possibilities: 1) He had an off day, 2) He wasn't as familiar with the material, 3) Matter of opinion.

He was brilliant when I saw him.
