Astronomy Ireland: 1pm Aug 27: We've done between 10 and 20 radio interviews today about Mars (and dealt with several hundred callers jamming our lines) so we expect a healthy turn out at our 13 Mars Watches around the country this evening. A couple of big interviews are still coming though: 1:45-2:45pm LIVELINE on RTE Radio 1, live with Valerie Cox and David Moore 3pm RTE are sending a camera crew in to our Shop in Artane so watch the 6pm RTE 1 news and Network 2 News later this evening. 6pm-7:30pm DAVE FANNING talks to David Moore once again on 2FM, expected to go on air with Mars songs etc around 7pm but tune in to the whole show just in case.
