More from Karl Grossman on space issues

More from journalism professor Karl Grossman in this The Real News interview.

Karl, one of the founders of the Global Network in 1992, gives the organization a nice plug near the end of the video.

Karl has been on the 'space case' since just after the NASA space shuttle Challenger explosion in 1986.  He learned that the next mission of the Challenger was to carry deadly plutonium-238 on board.  He wrote a story for The Nation about that and one of the members of the Florida Coalition for Peace & Justice (where I was working at the time) alerted me to the article.  I called Karl and we've been working together ever since.

We were in almost daily communication during our international campaigns in 1989, 1990, and 1997 opposing NASA launches of even more plutonium-238 on the Galileo, Ulysses and Cassini space missions. 

The Global Network (created in 1992) was born out of these early campaigns to stop the launching of nuclear power into space.
