What does Mississippi have to do with getting to the Moon? What are the laws concerning the Moon? Weâll find out with the help of our guest Michelle L.D. Hanlon, Executive Director, Center for Air and Space Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law and Co-Founder, President & CEO of For All Moonkind
In 1971, Apollo 14 was the third Moon mission of the U.S. Apollo space program, but the flight was unique in one way: tree seeds were taken on the flight to later germinate âMoon Treesâ! When selected for the Apollo 14 mission, Astronaut Stuart Roosa was allowed to carry approximately 500 tree seeds with him into space. The species selected were sycamore, loblolly pine, sweetgum, redwood, and Douglas fir, taken from lots of seeds collected at two U.S.F.S. Institute of Forest Genetics (I.F.G.) stations, the southern station in Gulfport, Mississippi, and the western station in Placerville, California. Mississippi State University proudly displays its Sycamore Moon Tree on campus near the Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field, the home playing venue for the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team. A Sycamore was planted at Camp Iti Kana, a Girl Scout camp near Wiggins, Mississippi. Thereâs is located near the camp flagpole.
A âMoon Treeâ was planted on the grounds of Bayou Academy in Cleveland, Mississippi in late May 2024. As a seed, the Sweetgum traveled 270,000 miles around the moon aboard the Orion spacecraft in 2022.
NASA Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi is contributing directly to the agencyâs effort to land the first woman, the first person of color, and its first international partner astronaut on the Moon â for the benefit of all humanity. Work at the nationâs largest â and premier â propulsion test site will help power SLS (Space Launch System) rockets on future Artemis missions to enable long-term lunar exploration and prepare for the next giant leap of sending the first astronauts to Mars.
Michelle's inspiration: Star Trek
Liz's thoughts about items left on the moon: Salvage One

Joining us are Julian Miller from the Southern Poverty Law Center, Cassie Tolliver from Disability Rights Mississippi, and Ayanna Hill from American Civil Liberties of Mississippi.
The SPLC has created a guide for parents of children with disabilities titled âHelping Your Child With a Disability Get a Good Education,â including state-specific guidance for parents in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Article: Coalition trains advocates of children with disabilities in Mississippi
The Office of Special Education website is designated to provide important information to families of students with disabilities. Links to a variety of resources are provided related to child developmental milestones and ways to help your child succeed in school. If you are unable to find answers to your questions on their site they suggest you contact their office at 601-359-3498.
On the Mississippi Department of Educationâs Office of Special Education website, you can access the Access for All Guide which was developed by the MDE in collaboration with educators across the state to help teachers address issues that impact learners with a wide variety of needs. I would hope that having access to this information might help families better understand the classroom environment.

August 6th was MPB Think Radioâs Education Week. Our broadcast /podcast was about Mississippiâs law schools.
