The Road Less
Travelled, Episode 1: Joining Faith and Science in a Journey Through
the Stars
 In this new
Better Satellite World podcast series, SSPI’s Lou Zacharilla speaks
with people whose lives and work inspire us because they walk “the road
less travelled,” the one leading us to a wider view of space,
satellites and our quest for the dwelling of light we call “The Truth.”
This series will feature people you may have heard about but may not
have yet had a chance to actually hear speak.
In the first episode of The Road Less Travelled, Lou speaks
with Brother
Guy Consolmagno, SJ, Director of the Vatican
Observatory and co-author of multiple books, including Would You Baptize an
Extraterrestrial? and Turn
Left at Orion. Brother Guy holds degrees from MIT, Harvard
University and the University of Arizona and has been a member of the
Catholic Church’s Jesuit Order since 1989. He has authored hundreds of
scientific publications in addition to his books. Brother Guy even has
his own asteroid – 4597 Consolmagno – and is a recipient of the Carl
Sagan Medal from the American Astronomical Society.
 Brother Guy tells us in the podcast: “It’s
pondering that’s really the work of a scientist. And it’s after the
pondering that you write your papers. It’s after the pondering that you
go to meetings. It’s after the pondering that you ask for more grant
money. But if you don’t recognize and absorb what the universe has
thrown at you and ponder it in your heart, then you’re not doing
science.”
