Geeks in Space

RobChrisRob gathered together from their disparate interplanetary locations to talk about the revelation that John Cena actually played the piano on last weeks Peacemaker, JWST alignment is underway with the first photons detected, sending emails directly to spam for totally legit reasons, SCOTUS nominees and Wikipedia shenanigans, MAMES 25th Birthday, the generative system for 70s Sci-Fi book covers, The Orville trailer, predicting metaverse abuses, DNA test reveals sperm mix-up, Florida Sheriff disables Facebook comments b/c people kept commenting instead of calling 911, and the totally legit Florida home being sold as an NFT.

RobChrisRob gathered together to discuss the recently announced plans to end of life the international space station in 2030 or so, the newly redesigned mail trucks that get really horrible mpg and aren't really electric either. Then we talked a bit about Peacemaker, delved extensively into Boba Fett spoiler discussion, and made our plans to try to catch ISS wreckage before it lands in the pacific.

RobChrisRob did their things from their locations, talking about a new availability tracking service for raspberry pi's: what was once just for GPUs is now for everyone... yay? We also talked about Russian Numbers Stations getting jamed with memes visible in the spectrum visualization, the return of Space Force (and it vs Avenue 5), Bungee selling for billions, and a general appreciation for the latest episode of Peacemaker.

RobChrisRob linked up their communication arrays from their various pretend orbits to talk about AppleTV getting rights to a Godzilla and the Titans TV series, a truck crash releasing lab monkeys into the wild, several stories about NFT topics ranging from skepticism to gross, 'Sideways' impact on the california grap supply, the current state of de-pixelizing redacted videos, Peacemaker, Vanilla Fraud, the village in antarctica where nobody is allowed to have an appendix, the michigan school that had to clarify that no they in fact are NOT putting out kitty litter for furry students, the smart toilet seat that monitors your heartrate, and the various efforts to militarize dolphins to protect military targets

RobChrisRob pretend for 40 minutes that they are in tiny space ships, and squander their time talking about the ancient sitcom 'Wings', a vendor essentially selling lootboxes with a 2% chance of a good GPU, Daniel Radcliff has been cast as Weird Al in an upcoming biopic, an insane engineer built a piano grill car and it's just as awesome as you imagine, Chris demonstrates his ignorance of middle earth, Ben Stiller is making a new sci-fi show starring Adam Scott, California is going to fight crows with lasers, The Batman is gonna be way to long, and Meat Loaf died as he lived... like a bat out of hell I guess? So we talked about Rocky Horror and Fight Club and were generally not very respectful despite the fact that I really love that Bat out of Hell album.

RobChrisRob talked about the atmospheric response to the Tonga eruption, the trailer for Moon Night underwhelming us, the increasing number of satellites creating light pollution ruining ground based astronomy, a group of crypto bros who bought a book at auction that included a script for Dune that they think includes shooting rights. And unsurprisingly we got sucked into a tangent about The Eternals, Boba Fett, and finally celebrated the surprising fun to be had in HBOs Peacemaker series.

RobChris & Special Guest Geek Cliff linked up their communication array to talk about the one-minute time machine, JWST deploying its mirrors for the next few months, a 1960s ramjet design that isn't gonna actually work, TikTok (Rob is Old), Worldle, Evile Wordle, mixed feelings on the Book of Boba, and finally a chat on the now streaming Eternals entry in the MCU canon.

RobChrisRob returned to transmission distance after a lovely new years in higher earth orbits to discuss the success launch (so far) of the James Webb, the Gorilla costume smuggled aboard the ISS, advancements in transplanting pig organs into humans, the drug resistant bacteria hiding in hedgehogs that will ultimately end us all, the goldfish someone taunt to drive a little car, Covid shutting down production of Picard after 50 people test positive, Morbius delayed, airlines flying thousands of empty planes to keep their parking spaces at airports, and finally we barfed a little on the latest installment of the "Matrix" franchise.

RobChrisRob & Special Guest Cliff gathered together to distract ourselves from the sadness of the cruel world and instead hang out and talk the winners of this years Hugo awards, our hopes for Hawkeye, a sleeping bag to keep your eyes intact over long duration space flights, the Park Probe touching the Sun's Corona, Anti 5G Necklaces that are actually radioactive, as well as Denis Villeneuve Directing 'Rendezvous With Rama’

RobChrisRob gathered together from pretend low earth orbit to talk about the Unreal Matrix demo, a Titanic/AT-AT hybrid that is as awesome as you might expect, people trying to save the Shuttle simulator for a museum, FDA approving eye drops to replace reading glasses, The Star Wars Eclipse trailer, Coders vs Kellogg's, Karl Jobst continues to go after questionable actors in the retro gaming grading & auctioning space, and a misclicked bored NFT sale selling for 1% of the intended price.
