Engineering Dads Podcast

A chat by Engineers over a Beer.

Telling the story of an Astronaut abandoned on a deserted planet, with limited supplies and no form of communication, he must use his engineering wits to stay alive and return home safely.

With a plot that dramatic you would think all logic will be thrown out the window. THINK AGAIN! Considered one of the most scientifically accurate films, the Ridley Scott masterpiece,'The Martian (2015)', is discussed, analysed and praised for its story and more. Conversation about the spacecrafts, facts about the planet Mars and if the character, Teddy Sanders, is a villain, are some of the points the boys talk about as we wonder why Matt Damon keeps getting abandoned on planets?

Space is the pinnacle of the engineering world (at least we think). Space is also still very unknown but what you may not realise is how small we are as a civilisation. Harnessing the power of dark matter and the sun (no, not solar panels) is one of the early stages of the Kardashev scale, and we aren't even halfway there yet. Space travel is also very expensive and time-consuming, so what's the big-ticket solution to getting us up there without sending the world into debt? Maybe an elevator into space?

The ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) is one of the many factors universities take into consideration when deciding which students to admit to their school. For out of High School students, this can seem like a difficult and confusing time. Especially when not given the proper information. The boys can't offer much, except our own experiences of Uni (how it's all corporatised), discussing the Pro's and Con's of the ATAR system today and how to get the best bang for your buck if you are thinking of going to University.
