In Recognition of Planetary Radio

My favorite day is Tuesday when new episodes arrive

Of Planetary Radio presented by The Five.

A wondrous group of super-heroes from the human race,

Keeping us updated on our planetary space.

Podcast!

The man who hosts this free-for-all has forty years or so

Behind the broadcast microphone and not just radio -

For Mr. Kaplan's podcast can be heard throughout the world

Wherever space and planets are, his banner is unfurled.

The Voice!

Evangelist of all things space, through blogging and on Twitter.

Need to spread some news? Then she's your designated hitter.

Just can't lose with Emily, a scientist and author,

Curiosity is blessed - to have her as it's Chaucer!

Write Stuff!

And in the Chair of Leadership—Bill Nye is whom you'll find.

He started his astronomy in Carl Sagan's mind.

"I want to change the world!" he says. As CEO you'll see,

He's always begging us to join the P. Society...

Science Guy!

The NASA budget is the place where Casey Dreier thrives;

He advocates for rocket ships and also rover drives.

The folks in Congress know his name, he doesn't let them rest

Until the funds are handed out for each exploring quest.

More bucks!

Let Dr. Betts instruct you while you drain your coffee cup.

In science and technology, he always knows What's Up?

He's got a random fact to share and varied is the choice,

But even radder is the chance to hear that crazy voice.

LightSail!

And yes, in case you're wondering, I just signed up today—

A Planetary membership is mine without delay.

So keep the science coming and we'll one day get to Mars,

And keep our options open as we head out towards the stars.

Space Rocks!

(and so do you guys)
