This week we’re taking things a little bit meta for our engineered wonders series. It’s the internet.

• We definitely just skimmed the surface in this episode, for a more detailed look into how exactly the internet works, check out this fabulous talk.
• Peter and the Wolf, for those who don’t recall, is a magical story of a boy who kills a wolf. Each instrument represents a different character in the story. Neat, huh?
• The Magic School Bus was a childrens show. The Magic School Bus All Grown Up is a weird buzz feed article.
• That XKCD Standard comic man, so true.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's this week's topic! Supersonic speed.

• Can we PLEASE give our good friend Joe Batwinis some love for that fantastic Adamsesque style intro? Please find him @Batwinis and please enjoy him at the brachiolope media network on Science... Sort Of with our other contributors for the series so far, Ben & Ryan!
• As with so many of these topics, a useful animation says so much more than we can. Please see this graphic showing us how outrunning your own soundwaves can cause a sonic boom.
• Finally, remember this? Way Cool.

• Space, Physics, Striving to understand the world around you, Our intro this week, if you checked yes to any of the above, please avail yourself of our guest Ben Tippett (@bnprime) and his podcast Titanium Physicists
• It's absolutely worth watching or re-watching Carl Sagan's The Frontier is Everywhere if you need a little inspiration. And most of us do most of the time.
• The heliosphere is the edge of our galaxy, but it's real challenging to explain. Please review this image for a better explanation.
• Finally, on the topic of launch patterns and how complicated they can be, Kerbal Space Program is a fun and goofy simulator game where you can launch your own space crafts and see just how complicated it is!
