Salt Lake City, UT – Dr. Ben Bova has been studying - and re-imagining space - since the earliest days of its exploration. He is the author of more than 100 futuristic novels and nonfiction books, and his tales are so well hypothesized, that many have accurately predicted scientific milestones. Bova will be in Salt Lake City later this week, and joins Doug for a look at the current state of the space age, and the plausibility of manned missions to the planets.

  • On Saturday, October 7 at 7:00 p.m., The King's English Bookshop will host a signing with Ben Bova. For more information on the event, call the bookshop at 484-9100 or visit them on-line
