We’ve been thrilled to have longtime space and science reporter Alan Boyle covering two big stories for GeekWire today: Stephen Hawking’s announcement of a $100 million initiative to find alien life, and Elon Musk’s news conference about a preliminary finding in the recent SpaceX Falcon 9 explosion.

Before leaving the GeekWire offices this afternoon, Alan sat down and talked with us about both stories, as well as the latest news about Pluto — a subject he tracks closely as the author of “The Case for Pluto: How A Little Planet Made A Big Difference.”

Listen to our conversation with Alan about all of those topics below.
