Exploring Mars On Friday's Access Utah

telegraph.co.uk

The Dutch company Mars One Foundation announced this week they have received more than 20,000 applications from aspiring astronauts who are willing to travel to mars on a one-way ticket.  Friday on Access Utah, Sheri Quinn talks to aerospace engineer Walter Holemans, who joins her from Washington DC to talk about why he thinks they should stay on earth.  Mr. Holemans also sums up the major accomplishments of the aerospace industry in 2013.  

In the second half of the program we explore the successful anti-idling campaign that was inspired by Salt Lake City elementary school students.  A group of kids changed the behavior of school bus drivers so we can all breathe a little easier.

Sheri's career in radio began at 7 years old in Los Angeles, California with a secret little radio tucked under her bed that she'd fall asleep with, while listening to The Dr. Demento Radio Show. She went on to produce the first science radio show in Utah in 1999 and has been reporting local, national and international stories ever since. After a stint as news director at KZYX on northern California's Lost Coast, she landed back at UPR in 2021.
