In the first hour, Commander Allan Palmer, director of the Atomic Testing Museum located in Las Vegas, talks about the testing of nuclear weapons, as well as Area 51. Main guest for the evening, TBA.
UFO researcher Paola Harris will discuss the significance of the work of Kenneth Arnold, the pilot who coined the phrase "flying saucer." She’ll be joined by Kenneth’s daughter Kim Arnold who’ll share stories of how the family suffered with ridicule and intimidation in the wake of his continued reports of sightings.
Author Whitley Strieber, a supporter of alternative concepts through his Unknown Country website, will discuss diverse subjects such as cattle mutilations, crop circles, strange implants, the afterlife and whether the aliens he claims abducted him were from outer space or another dimension.

Space Station Crew Excited for 1st Private Spaceship Visit
Source: Space.com
The astronauts living on the International Space Station (ISS) are gearing up for a milestone event in February — the first visit of a commercial spaceship to the orbiting outpost.
The private spaceflight company SpaceX plans to launch its unmanned Dragon capsule to orbit Feb. 7 atop the firm’s Falcon 9 booster from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. The capsule will carry a load of food, clothing and other supplies for the six-man crew of the space station.
“We’re excited about that,” NASA astronaut Don Pettit told SPACE.com in an interview Wednesday (Jan. 4) from the station. “Anytime you have a visiting vehicle coming by, that’s an exciting day.”
Dragon’s flight is partially funded by NASA’s Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program, which aims to stimulate the development of private spacecraft to carry cargo to the station now that NASA’s space shuttle fleet is retired. [Gallery: Dragon, SpaceX's Private Spacecraft]
The Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX is the first of a number of companies vying to fly test flights to the International Space Station. NASA has also awarded funding to the Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., which is developing the Cygnus spacecraft to fly on its Taurus 2 rocket.
Dragon is due to make an automated rendezvous with the International Space Station at about 240 miles (386 kilometers) above the Earth. Once it approaches within a few meters of the laboratory, astronauts inside will use the station’s robotic arm to grab hold of the capsule and attach it to the outpost.
“It’s going to be packed with all kinds of supplies for us, and it’s sort of the first of many wagon trains coming up here to bring us supplies,” Pettit said.
After being docked for about a week, Dragon will depart the space station, carrying cargo back down to Earth, where the capsule will be retrieved after landing in the Pacific Ocean.

Giant Moon Crater Revealed in Up-Close Photos
Source: Space.com
Spectacular new images of a gigantic crater on the moon were captured recently by a low-skimming NASA satellite.
In November 2011, the space agency’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft passed over the moon’s Aristarchus crater, which spans 25 miles (40 km) and sinks more than 2 miles (3.5 km) deep. Photos and video of the crater from LRO’s sweep were released Dec. 25.
The huge and highly reflective Aristarchus is easily visible with the naked eye. But the details shown in the new photos are a special treat from an extremely low flyover by LRO.

NASA Questions Astronaut’s Right to Sell Apollo 13 Memorabilia
LITS Notes: My personal opinion is that if NASA wanted such documents back, they should have asked for them years ago. Knowing what astronauts were paid back then, I think Lovell deserves to do with the list as he sees fit.
Would I like to see the list donated to the space museum? Sure but possession is nine tenths of the law and NASA is pushing that one tenth for all it’s worth… -SW
