This piece I did for a radio show pilot last year (that never aired) got a mention on Boing Boing today. I thought I’d share it here too. It’s also a design problem, of sorts. It’s probably my best piece, so I hope you enjoy it.

NOTE (11/12/10): I decided to release this piece as a podcast (Episode-09X). Feel free to download, share and embed the piece.

romanmars:

NASA is figuring out how to take the next great leap into space. The difficulty is, if we leap to Mars, we might not make it back. (produced Summer, 2009)

-The Kitchen Sisters, Peabody Award-winning producers for NPR
