NASA'S Discovery Program


From the space shuttle to the space station, NASA's big-money projects grab the spotlight. Its space missions that set out to explore the solar system with cheaper, smaller spacecraft are often overlooked. In this hour of Science Friday, we'll talk about NASA's Discovery Program, and some of the proposals in the running for future missions. Plus, a call-out on anti-matter.
