Tina S joins the podcast to discuss the past, and future, of space exploration. Where have we gone? Where are we going? Should we be going? We have all the expert opinions, and crude jokes, about life beyond the earth. Join us for a conversation about the space beyond Earth's fragile surface.
Have you read or seen The Martian? Tina has and she comes to the X Millennial Man and tells you what was good, and what could use some work. She discusses with RD about good pop science, and how our media and government get so much so wrong. The conversation ends with a look at the future and our hopes for space travel. CALCULATION CORRECT.
Ty takes over hosting duties and welcomes Kirk Aug to the show. Kirk talks about Neil deGrasse Tyson and the excitement around classifying Pluto as a dwarf planet (read Kirk's article here). The use of science in popular culture for good (Cosmos) to the not so good (Creation Museum) is discussed. The conversation ends with a look at technology in popular culture, particularly robots and their eventually place in society.
RD conducts his first podcasting test with good friend Tina. They talk about if recent films Interstellar and Gravity treat the science with respect. The discussion evolves into discussions about why some entertainment gets science right, and does that make it more enjoyable.
Politics and Pop Culture from the ground up.
