Token Skeptic 228 - Australia Enters The Space Race (?) - Interview With Paul Willis

The recent news that Australia is getting its own Space Agency is one sure to affect the entire nation - but should we be so eager so fast?

The Federal Government has announced its plans to  cash in on a $420 billion aeronautical industry and create thousands of new jobs, which coincided with the 69th International Astronautical Congress which is being held in Adelaide this week.

Science Communicator Dr. Paul Willis of Media Engagement Service spoke to me about the developments on The Mag for RTRFM.
