    Dr. Moira Gunn sets out to prove a theory of hers: "Science isn't

    Public Radio's Scientist Emeritus, Dan Coffey, better known as Dr.
    Science. Dr. Science has a degree in science from a real university!
    Just in case you've lost all sense of humor, Moira speaks with St.

    05/23/1993 - Buzz Aldrin, Man of Space
    This week, Dr. Moira Gunn talks to Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon
    and first astronaut in cyberspace. It has been nearly a quarter of a
    century since Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. He spent a mere 2 hours
    and 15 minutes walking on the moon and, after that, could have
    retired. But, in the almost 25 years since that day, Buzz Aldrin has
    remained personally and professionally committed to America's space
    program. Today, he believes more than ever that the United States
    should go forward and build a dynamic space station, one that leads
    us into the 21st centruy, back to the moon, and on to Mars.
