Guest: Kerry Lee, technical lead  NASA wants your help figuring out how to keep astronauts safe from dangerous radiation on the long trip to Mars. The best ideas submitted before June 29 could win up to $30,000.  Why would NASA—which has some of the world’s best and brightest—need citizen help? They’re hoping to engage the public and get good ideas, says Kerry Lee, the technical lead for NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
