Taking the Fight for Pluto to the Airwaves

As mentioned a couple of days ago, [personal profile] gnomi and I were interviewed by CBS4 News about our fight to save Pluto.  They ran the interview last night.  The video is here, with a partial transcript here.  The reporter, Ken Barlow, gave a plug for the Clay Center Observatory and for our upcoming Save Pluto Day observances on 4 February 2007.

That is terrific coverage! I was so afraid that they were going to turn the whole enterprise into a joke, but the report is respectful, you're both intelligent and articulate (and you both look great!), and it's interesting. Yay!

Thanks! The producer who contacted us thought it would be a fun story to do, and all his questions were quite good. I expected a cute report, but also a serious one. And they cut off just before they gave even more good notice to the Clay Center; apparently the Center is one of the places they use for their weather network.

Save Pluto!
