The Space Age and Perceptions of America In this fifth and final SUN TO STARS vodcast, six leading space researchers explain what drew them to America and to involvement in the US space program. Participants include Charles Elachi, Director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, Nicky Fox (Johns Hopkins APL), Miguel San Martin, a JPL engineer who's worked on Pathfinder, the Mars Exploration Rovers, and the upcoming MSL, Earth scientist Isabella Velicogna (UC Irvine and JPL), Tom Krimigis (JHU APL), and Cassini mission planner Yanhua Anderson.
