b'To\\xa0need air is human. Our lungs thank us for each breath we take. But air is more than a transporter of O2. It shapes our weather, keeps birds aloft and moves spores from here to there. A cubic foot of air is anything but \\u201cempty\\u201d (hot dog grease particles, anyone?).\\nThe same goes for space (minus the hot dog grease). It\\u2019s a happening place. Discover why interstellar space is more than a whole lot o\\u2019 nothing; and what happens when the Voyager spacecraft leaves our solar system. Plus, catch a skydiver in action!\\nGuests:\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0Mako Igarashi \\u2013 Skydiving instructor, Skydive Hollister, Hollister, CA\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0Rhett Allain \\u2013 Physicist at Southeastern Louisiana University, blogger for Wired.com\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0William Bryant Logan \\u2013 Author of Air: The Restless Shaper of the World\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0Robert Wagoner \\u2013 Emeritus professor of physics, Stanford University\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0Alex Filippenko \\u2013 Astronomer, University of California, Berkeley\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0Ed Stone \\u2013 Physicist at CalTech, former Director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, project scientist for the Voyager mission\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
