Carolyn Porco and Monica Grady

I've been catching up on old episodes of The Infinite Monkey Cage to relieve the commuting bordom and came across this one last night, which I thought might be of interest to a few KSPers.

Carolyn Porco is the Imaging team leader for Cassini, and worked on Voyager, I went to a talk by her a couple of years ago and she's a brilliant presenter, so enthusiastic about her subject.  She's the one who  lead the "Day the Earth Smiled" thing that resulted in this stunning image.  We're the little pale pixel on the right just below the rings.  Monica Grady is the lead for the Ptolemy instrument on the Philae lander.  Very interesting discussion of space missions.
