As two lovers of science fiction, we adored this course: How Science Shapes Science Fiction. Checked it out from the library and watched an episode or two every night. We liked it so much that with the next Great Courses sale, we bought our own copy for reference whenever we want. And part of what we adored was the host, Charles Adler, pictured in the episode artwork. He was charming and enthusiastic and . . . well, listen to the episode.

One of the funniest things we learned was what would happen to an astronaut in a bullet-like rocket, as in Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon. (Hint, it involves jelly . . . ) Is there something you are dying to learn about? Rocketry? Space travel? Jetpacks? Planetary orbits? Let us know on Twitter or Instagram! @dodosdiscuss
