    70 episodes down, and only a few more to go.

No guests today as we delve into 2001: A Space Odyssey, Apollo 13, First Man, Moon, The Martian and Ad Astra. We talk about how each film explores a different aspect of space travel and how it affects the characters within the stories, as well as looking at how 2001 set the standard.
