We got some incredible insight from two great Montanans: retired Major General Paul Vallely of Bigfork and The University of Montana's Dr. Mehrdad Kia.
SpaceX and the crew from the Polaris Dawn mission is on the ground in Montana. We got a chance to chat with Mission Pilot Kidd Poteet as they get ready to conduct training missions in the Bozeman area before launching into space later this year.

"I stood there with my hand over my heart, about 12 people from 12 different countries, and I pledged that I would let go of any any alliance to my old country.

I just get a kick out of this ad featuring Rodeo great Deb Greenough and Hi Line Montana native Billy Beede.

We talked Butte, we talked Libby, and of course we talked Kalispell. The head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was in Montana and joined us on our statewide radio show- "Montana Talks with Aaron Flint."
