    There was tons of interesting information presented today on Science Live. Dr. Jon talked about traveling to Mars and using mold as an affective way to block radiation in space. This mold grew where the 1986 Chernoble explosion took place. Dr. Billings information on radio waves was fascinating. It was amazing to see how radio waves were discovered. I cannot wait to see how the light is turned off without touching the cable next week.
