Guest: Gregory Jackson, PhD, Assistant Professor of Integrated Studies, Utah Valley University, and Podcast Host, “History That Doesn’t Suck”  A spring wedding is the works for Britain’s Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle. The match highlights a modern shift in the House of Windsor. Not only is Markle American, she’s also divorced from a previous husband. The last time a member of Britain’s royal family tried marrying an American divorcee, he was forced to abdicate the throne, which made way for Queen Elizabeth to ultimately wear the crown. And now Queen Elizabeth says she’s “delighted” at her grandson’s wedding news.

Guest: Jay Melosh, PhD, Distinguished University Professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Purdue University It’s been 46 years since an American astronaut last set foot on the moon. Vice President Mike Pence told the National Space Council meeting last month that’s going to change: “We will return American astronauts to the moon. Not only to leave behind footprints and flags, but to build the foundation we need to send Americans to Mars and beyond.” He’s talking about setting up a more permanent presence on the Moon. A place where humans can train and stage supplies for missions farther out in space. So researchers are trying to find the perfect spot to build a lunar base. And new research published jointly by Japanese and American scientists points to an intriguing option – a giant underground cavern on the moon.
