Occurred last week, as Robert Zimmerman notes on his blog.
If it weren't for the Space Show, I probably wouldn't be much interested in space. I'm sure I wouldn't know about John S. Lewis, and I probably wouldn't have read Mining The Sky.
As noted before, the first I heard of the Space Show was when Robert Bussard called the show. I was following Bussard's idea of the Polywell device, which is a way to get positive energy out of fusion without harmful radiation.
I found Bussard's google talk in response to what I considered to be an energy crisis I discussed in the previous version of the Boots and Oil blog back in 2004.
Bussard gave the introduction to the book I'm reading now by Alvin Weinberg.
Incidentally, I probably viewed the Ascent of Man series because of Zimmerman.
Smart people. The smartest in the world.
