We begin with a suitably surreal tribute to Phil Austin of The Firesign Theatre who died a few days ago. This consists of Phil reading from his audiobook, “Tales Of The Old Detective And Other Big Fat Lies,” mixed with various other Firesign records and radio shows that refer to space. He can’t be missed because he’s not gone. Then we move on through a wonderful bit of Richard Dawkins on design, creativity, and the Universe, along with a few other astronomers and astrophysicists discussing the creation of artificial planets for human colonization, The Solar System, star motion, etc.
3 Hours.
