Pioneer 10
Commentator Andrew Chaikin looks back on the "life" of the robot explorer Pioneer 10.
Morning Edition - March 7, 2003

Suggested by Karen, who listens to WAMU in Washington, D.C.:

"Was about to get out of my car at the locksmith, who was going to pry my broken key out of my driver-side door, when Andy Chaikin's commentary came on this morning about Pioneer 10, Columbia, and the never-ending debate of manned vs. unmanned exploration of space. As it was, I remained "locked" in my car in the driveway of the locksmith's shop until it was over. Just one of *many* driveway (and driving) moments!"
