This week! On the Bearded Action Show!

We discuss the cave-in of a Chilean mine system, and dish the “dirt” on how this could have been the result of a Minecraft obsession!

Then we’ll give you the inside scoop on how they managed to survive for more than 69 days – WITHOUT the benefit of a diamond-bladed Pickaxe!

Still curious about what led them to these depths? We’ll drop our cameras down their life-shaft and show you the 8-bit art they carved into their walls!

ALL THIS WEEK…. on the Bearded Action Shoooooooo

n the latest internet gaIming craze, an indie developer has managed to capture the hearts and minds of thousands of addicted gamers by creating a charmingly low-resolution gaming phenomenon known as Minecraft. We’re here to tell you all about the reasons this game is quickly becoming a giant in the world of gaming, despite lacking the marketing and development clout of a higher-budget game.

Scientists recently discovered a near-Earth planetoid orbiting a star only about 20 lightyears away. What does it MEAN?! Could it support human life outside of our solar system? Of course it’s got issues… it may be tidally locked, and we don’t actually know what it’s atmosphere is made of. Oh, and traveling 20 lightyears would take about 180,000 years using current propulsion methods. But a man can dream, right?!

inevitably crumbled under their own weight. What if Persians had cell phones? Could Google have saved Rome? Could the Aztecs have ruled the world with the power of Twitter?

Obviously, due to the lack of microprocessor technology and the harnessing of electricity, these tools could never have existed in these ancient periods. But what about the future of human civilization? Are our “empires” of today destined to reign for eternity because of our ability to communicate?

It’s movie night! This coming weekend marks the release of two very different, but interesting films. One is a movie about Facebook, the other is about Vampires. But are they really so very different as they seem? FIND OUT ON THIS EPISODE. It will change your life. Forever.

We take a look at the abandoned nuclear lighthouses that line the northern border. We move on from these crazy left overs of a fallen empire and spotlight a new endeavor to build a nuclear power-plant on top of a barge.

On Sept 27th, 2010, representatives from the US Military and Gov’t operations held a press conference to publicly announce their belief that we are being repeatedly visited by extra-terrestrial lifeforms. These visits have been happening at nuclear launch & test sites, and have resulted in the abnormal shut-down of those sites (sometimes only temporarily).

On tonight’s show, the J@N crew gets REAL with the potential repercussions of these actions, if they are to be believed, and prepares to publicly announce our worship and obedience to our new Gods from the Sky

Any of us could probably come up with hundred different “So Bad That They’re Awesome” movie scenes that involve technology in some manner. Whether hacking into the CIA database, or bringing down a bank’s firewalls, it always looks so glamorous when it appears on the big screen. In tonight’s J@N, we’ll share with you some of our favorite blunders in Hollywood technology, and let you laugh along with us.

Let’s cut to the chase here — spiders are creepy as hell! And none of the Jupiter Team would likely be caught dead staring at enough pictures of them, to do research for a show about them. BUT, their webs are another story. Even though these silky tendrils are produced from the butts of our fearsome nemesis, we still find them fascinating. Tonight we’ll discuss some of the amazing properties of spider webs in detail, as well as let you in on some scary genetic research currently being performed to produce it artificially for human use.

Who doesn’t love a good glass of wine, or a nice chilled bottle of beer? With Oktoberfest getting underway, we decided to cover a few recent stories related to our beloved libations – from cooking, to science, and even ART! Alcohol is all over our world, and a part of our lives.
