On The Friday, March 1, 2019 Edition Of Idaho Matters

  • Our team of regional reporters breaks down the week's headlines.
  • Mapping the water on Mars.
  • Idaho Day commemorates the creation of the Idaho Territory by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863.

- Gemma Gaudette leads a round table discussion of the week's headlines with the region's top journalists. This week Idaho Matters speaks with Bill Manny of  Idaho Public Television, Kevin Richert of Idaho Education News and Scott MacIntosh of the Idaho Press.

- The recent discovery of water on Mars has changed our relationship with the red planet. On Friday's Idaho Matters, we speak with a University of Arizona researcher about what this means for habitability on Mars and how it can be used as an outer space "rest stop."

- Honest Abe Lincoln designated Idaho as an official territory 156 years ago. Every March 4, Idahoans celebrate this milestone as Idaho Day and on Friday we'll talk with the Idaho State Historical Society about the commemorations at the state's capitol.
