awareness about the cybersecurity bill sr this week so do you think it's for protesting be as powerful as those that we saw against sopa without the major top companies like google behind this effort that's now you think on facebook twitter and you tube and responses just might. well we got quite the view here in washington d.c. today the space shuttle discovery made its last flight from kennedy space center in florida to dulles airport strapped onto the back of a boeing seven forty seven very time this morning it flew right over the national mall you can call it bittersweet symbol of the past but no doubt it was a visual experience that stirred up a lot of emotions and brought out a lot of tourists even a lot of d.c. locals to the mall or to building rooftops to see it in person but i guess the biggest question is what's next recent budget cuts even resorting to a car wash to raise funds paint a pretty bleak picture for u.s. government funded space exploration and dominance of the private sector is jumping in with the space x. rocket launch planned for april thirtieth but is that going to be enough to get a man on mars. joining me to discuss it is dr phil plait

against a cyber security bill system so we asked our audience do you think that cisco protests can be as powerful as those that we saw again so but without major tech companies like google and facebook behind it other readers spawns from ten c i and you tube he said hell yes protests are going to be as big but the trick is to inform everyone since the government is once again leaving us in the dark that's why not a lot of people know about it i think a lot of people know about it only because the big companies that came in and say it and made it you know took stand you want to keep it or delete it i think i'd have to believe because you probably need the backing of some of those bigger companies to get the word out as much as they did for so readers sponsored dawn on facebook he said he doesn't think it will be the reason being a corporate entities behind the move are doing everything they can to make sure passes do you want to keep it or delete it sure why not buy cars squashed open it wherever so activists are trying to raise awareness and gets a cybersecurity bill says but in a reader response from someone on you tube desk said cisco protests can be just as big as so
