Bobby works for Draper, a partner to the team on their hopper.

They work with MIT on the effort; both undergrad and grad students are working on the program, and the grad students recently won the 2010 Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage (RASC-AL) contest, which was sponsored by NASA and looked for student ideas that can directly assist NASA with missions to the Moon and Mars.

]]> The creator and lead actor of a new web series “SOLO” joins the podcast today.  Having seen the first episode of this show (a perk of being a podcast host) I can tell you it’s every bit as good as the trailers imply it will be.

From the site:

Scott Drizhal, is chosen to go on a solo, 3 year mission to Mars as part of a reality series. Unfortunately the show is canceled and Scott is now stuck on a round-trip ticket to Mars and back. With no company in deep space other than a smart-ass, artificially-intelligent ship computer (PHAL), his wife declaring him legally dead so she can claim the millions in insurance, a Napoleonic producer whose hubris lands him and the show into Japanese mafia infested waters and a malfunctioning, prototype ship that was never meant to fly to Mars… Hilarity ensues.

Check out the trailer, then listen to the interview (below the trailer):
