Enjoy Star Wars!  Season 5 of Enjoy Stuff premieres with a celebration of Star Wars! Twenty years ago, we went crazy all summer seeing what we thought would be the last Star Wars movie ever; Revenge of the Sith. It was an exciting year of hype, merchandise, and standing in lines. But then, we got an exciting Christmas present when a sequel to our favorite galaxy was released. The Force Awakens awakened that excitement it had been so long since we felt. More Celebrations, more hype, more merchandise, and more lines (although, much easier to navigate). Let's take a look back at two giant Star Wars films.   Check out Jay's article about Revenge of the Sith from 2005 here Where were you in 2005 and 2015?

Movie reviews #49 coming in hot today.
Just 5 70's movies to review, sooooo let's review the review.
1. (The Andromeda Strain 1971) Epic movie Director Robert Wise is at the helm here, with a movie Based on a Michael Crichton novel way before it was a 90's standard thing to do. 
That statement is dead wrong though, there are 9 MC novels or short stories adapted into films in the 70's, 3 in the 80's, and 7 in the 90's. I think it's only because Jurassic Park had the hype of like 6 70's movies, shit, I dunno. This movie is about a deadly element from space, SCIENCE, and a real cool facility that gives you paper clothes.
2. (Boxcar Bertha 1972) Not to jump the shark but I think this one's easy, we all agree that we love Bertha, but not so much this early Martin Scorsese film. Barbara Hershey rules, also Bill of Kill Bill, and the history teacher of Bill and Ted are here. 
3. (In this house of Brede 1975) Don't yuk this bizarre recovering catholic's yum, but here we have Diana Ring as Nun, say no more!
ok just a bit more she is a woman who is sick of all the shitty men and bullshit and goes to the convent to get away from it all and do rad shit in peace, apparently I should read the book too.
4. (Death on the Nile 1978) I'm sorry but I do love me some Peter Ustinov, He is Agatha Christie's Poirot here, along with flippin every one else.
Mia Farrow, Bette Davis, Miss murder she done sat down and wrote, David Niven, Jack Warden, and Professor McGonagall, to name a few. 
This time they are on a boat not a train.
5. (Birth of the Beatles 1979) Waited for the encore tv airing of this so I could record it with a video cassette that I had bought. This one hugely influenced me to want to play music. Wonderful to finally see this again with friends and review. This movie is from the director of Return of the Jedi. 
we out, thanks for listening.

THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971)—A satellite crash-lands near a small town, unleashing a deadly extraterrestrial microorganism that rapidly kills almost everyone in its path. A team of elite scientists is assembled at a high-tech underground lab to study and contain the organism, dubbed “Andromeda.” As they race against time to prevent a global catastrophe, they unravel … Continue reading Ep. 07-27: The Andromeda Strain (1971) →

In this episode of the Fully-Booked podcast, the hosts, Meaghan and Arthur, delve into a new chapter of the podcast. The audience is informed about Shirin's temporary departure due to her pregnancy as Shirin steps away to focus on her growing family, Arthur, co-producer of the Fully-Booked podcast, steps in to co-host alongside Meaghan. This change, while temporary, marks a significant shift in the dynamic of the show. Arthur’s background in coding and his technical contributions to the website bring a fresh perspective to the podcast. The hosts humorously discuss his 60% familiarity with the topics they’ll cover and joke about potential jousting matches for hosting rights when Shirin returns. Despite the change, the team is optimistic about the new direction and is ready to embrace 2025 with fresh content and themes. Kicking Off 2025: A Sci-Fi Focus As the podcast launches into the new year, Meaghan and Arthur introduce a month-long exploration of science fiction. This is a notable shift, as Meaghan admits that she and Shirin have historically read very little of the genre. However, Arthur’s passion for sci-fi provides the perfect opportunity to delve into its rich and diverse discussions. The hosts acknowledge the challenges they faced in planning sci-fi content in the past. With Arthur’s enthusiasm, planning the month’s content was surprisingly straightforward. The podcast promises to cover various aspects of sci-fi, including genre mashups, successful and unsuccessful adaptations, and newer releases. This thematic focus aims to appeal to long-time sci-fi enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Sci-Fi Genre Mashups: Exploring New Horizons One of the main themes of the episode is the exploration of sci-fi genre mashups. Meaghan and Arthur discuss how sci-fi often blends seamlessly with other genres, creating unique storytelling opportunities. They highlight several examples: Sci-Fi and Mystery: The Midsolar Murders series by Mur Lafferty combines amateur sleuthing with extraterrestrial settings. Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter and Wayward Pines series mix speculative fiction with gripping mysteries. Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain explores a medical mystery linked to a satellite crash, blending suspense with scientific intrigue. Sci-Fi and Horror: The hosts delve into the subgenre of sci-fi horror, highlighting works like Caitlin Starling’s The Luminous Dead and David Wellington’s Red Space series (Paradise-1, Revenant X). They also discuss the historical roots of the genre, referencing classics like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend. Sci-Fi and Fantasy: Works like Christopher Paolini’s To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series exemplify the blend of futuristic technology and fantastical elements. Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth series introduces necromancy into a science fiction setting, creating a unique narrative style. Sci-Fi and Historical Fiction: Stephen King’s 11/22/63 combines time travel with the historical backdrop of the Kennedy assassination. Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle explores an alternate history where the Axis powers won World War II. Sci-Fi and Romance: Meaghan and Arthur touch on the lighter side of sci-fi with titles like Alyssa Cole’s The AI Who Loved Me, which combines AI with human connections, and Ruby Dixon’s monster romance series. Sci-Fi in Other Media: Adaptations and Recommendations The hosts transition into discussing sci-fi in other media, particularly film and television. They reference the ongoing Silo series and compare its dystopian elements to works like Blake Crouch’s Wayward Pines. Meaghan shares her thoughts on the Alien film franchise, admitting she’s new to many of its sequels. The pair humorously critique the series’ ups and downs, including the divisive Prometheus prequels. The episode also touches on notable sci-fi adaptations and their impact: Dark Matter by Blake Crouch was recently adapted into a TV series. Man in the High Castle adapted for Amazon Prime. The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield blends Cold War intrigue with space exploration. The hosts express excitement about revisiting sci-fi classics and exploring lesser-known gems. They encourage listeners to explore Fully Booked’s website for related articles and reviews from contributors. Looking Ahead with Enthusiasm As the episode concludes, Meaghan and Arthur emphasize the importance of embracing new experiences. They acknowledge that while the month of sci-fi exploration is a departure from their usual fare, it presents an opportunity for growth and discovery. The duo encourages listeners to join them on this journey, whether through reading, watching, or engaging with the content on their website and social media platforms. The hosts’ banter, combined with their genuine curiosity and enthusiasm, sets the tone for an exciting year ahead. With a mix of humor, insight, and personal anecdotes, the episode invites listeners to explore the vast possibilities of sci-fi and its many intersections with other genres.

Daniel H. Wilson has a PhD in robotics and is the author of the non-fiction books ‘How to Survive a Robot Uprising', ‘How to Build a Robot Army' and ‘Where's my Jetpack', as well as the bestselling science fiction novels ‘Robopocalypse' and its sequel ‘Robogenesis', ‘The Clockwork Dynasty', and most recently ‘The Andromeda Evolution' - the authorized sequel to Michael Crichton's 'The Andromeda Strain'.  We talk about how he came to inherit Michael Crichton's mantle and be chosen to write 'The Andromeda Evolution', discussing Planetary Protection as well as the biotech/nanotech crossover in material science in this book.  We also consider Artificial Intelligence, First Contact, and the more human and cultural themes in his recent work, especially in his short story ‘The Blue Afternoon That Lasted Forever' and his upcoming book ‘Heliopause', which gives an indigenous perspective on First Contact with an alien intelligence.  Finally, we talk about the Western reductionist perspective compared with a more indigenous approach to science, with biomimetic strategies of studying systems embedded in their natural context, as well as developing respect and comfort with the unknown.Buzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

The science of convincing decor

The Pint took a month off and something came from space and started making folks blood turn to powder. We are back and we are on it! Year 8 starts next month.

It's Halloween time again! Put on your sexy Star Trek costume and make sure you're fully in control of your faculties because you might not be entirely you in there!This time, our Casual Explorers decided to explore some of the many psychic and or energy beings who can just pop inside your flesh and blood as easy as a pair of boots.In Enterprise's ‘Observer Effect,' Trip and Hoshi get sick off Klingon rubbish while Travis and Reed get possessed by one very eager energy being and one who is basically #quietquitting, in Deep Space Nine's ‘The Assignment,' O'Brien's life is once more a living hell when his wife gets taken over by the Pah'Wraiths and Rom struggles to make friends at work and finally, we round it off with our main event, Dr. Beverly Crusher's adventures with sex-ghosts who live in candles ‘Sub Rosa' and Charlie and Miles find themselves watching one of Star Trek's worst-ranked episodes and ask the most important question, 'Do the Scottish know there's a Scotland in Space?' Honestly, it's much more fun to watch Troi get heavily involved in talking about Crusher's sex dreams than it ever is to have to engage in discussions on the ethics of terrorism as we did last episode. If you or anyone else is showing signs of possession, please don't come to us for help, Google it. Or ask us on Ko-Fi.Episodes Discussed: Observer Effect (12:25), The Assignment (42:12) and Sub Rosa (01:13:40)SHOW NOTES: The FULL English Breakfast, Miles forgot to do his Crypt-Keeper Schtick this Halloween, he also has opinions on the Halloween series of films, the Leprechaun films, Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, Jailhouse Rock's surprising appearance on the charts and a quick diversion into British music magazine the NME, Let Me Love You is possibly the WORST song we've had to listen to for the show (you win this round, Sheeran!) Miles admits to his dark past as a ‘Nice Guy' The Andromeda Strain, You gotta feel sorry for Klingon Plumbers, quiet-quitting Energy Beings, the Organians have gone all The Good Place with their criteria for success, how this would have ended if this were either an episode of The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, the Spice Girls, Charlie DOES know songs that weren't featured on Rock Band thank you very much, Miles takes a break from bitching about Starbucks to bitch about the Hilton, Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5 are ripping each-other, Bashir and O'Brien being sitcom scamps, Rom trying to make friends, ‘Things can Only Get Better' is a song that'll forever be thought as an anthem for Neo-Liberal malaise, Sunshine, Charlie recommends a horror film,Scream, Bryan Adams, Sting & Rod Stewart as alternate Three Musketeers, Have YOU ever told a boss about a sexual fantasy? Marina Sirtis' accent slips a lot, ‘The Innocents', Charlie's RPG of the week ‘The Between,' would Ronin have had to seduce Wesley Crusher? Despite it's female audience Star Trek always has a Male Gaze on the Cosmos, SF complaining about romance and sexuality, the SCOTTISH PLANET, the fact there's a church leads us to wonder if the Abrahamic Religions are still practised and worshipped in the often-secular Star Trek, consent in ‘Sub Rosa' comparing to consent in ‘Plato's Stepchildren,'PEDANTS CORNER: It's Busta Rhymes who kung-fu'd Michael Myers in Halloween Resurrection, The Defiant actually came first with Deep Space Nine's Season 3 in 1994 Babylon 5 introduced the White Star in Season 3 in 1995. Although, when talking about Doctor Who, I didn't think to consider that some of the more legitimate arguments against the Doctor being more sexual as a being has felt like the show's Ace-Erasure to fans who see the Doctor as an all-too-rare example of positive Asexual Representation)Casual Trek is by Charlie Etheridge-Nunn and Miles Reid-LobattoMusic by Alfred Etheridge-NunnCasual Trek is a part of the Nerd & Tie Networkhttps://ko-fi.com/casualtrekMiles' blog: http://www.mareidlobatto.wordpress.com Charlie's blog: http://www.fakedtales.com

This week, Tom Salinsky joins us for a World War III–adjacent chat in Madeupistan, while a global apocalypse is self-organising somewhere in Yorkshire. Also, some scary people keep trying to invite us to a free Bible study. It's The Pyramid at the End of the World. Notes and links Brendan compares Extremis to Star Trek: Voyager's Course: Oblivion, which also kills its entire regular cast. Nathan and Joe were not kind to this episode when they watched if for Untitled Star Trek Project. Tom refers to his own less-than-enthusiastic review of Extremis in a blog post from way back in 2017. Joe 90 was a Gerry and Sylvia Anderson supermarionation show from 1968–69, which stars a nine-year-old super spy who wears special glasses which contain the brain patterns of expert adults and enable him to do all of his spy stuff. James refers to Star Trek: The Next Generation's Commander William T Riker as someone who, like the monks, has a real fetish for consent. This deep cut is a reference to the Star Trek podcast The Greatest Generation, which you are only allowed to listen to after you've finished all of Untitled Star Trek Project. The Andromeda Strain is a 1969 book by Michael Crichton and a 1971 film directed by Robert Wise (The Sound of Music, Star Trek: The Motion Picture). In it, an extraterrestrial microbe gets loose in a research station and the staff need to prevent the station's nuclear self-destruct system from releasing an irradiated version of the the microbe into the environment. The Tralfamadorians are time-aware aliens who appear in a couple of Kurt Vonnegut's novels, most notably Slaughterhouse-Five (1969). Follow us Nathan is on Bluesky at @nathanbottomley.bsky.social, Brendan is at @retrobrendo.bsky.social, and James is at @ohjamessellwood.bsky.social. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. Tom Salinsky's blog includes his reviews of Doctor Who from Season 5 onwards, as well as his reviews of all the 60s and 90s Star Trek series. His most recent book, Star Trek: Discovering the TV Series, covers The Original Series, The Animated Series and The Next Generation, and is available in all good book stores, as well as on Amazon.

Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll save you from a crisis we created and demand your eternal adoration in return. At the time that this episode was released, the Doomsday Clock was at 90 seconds to midnight, mostly thanks to the climate disaster and the involvement of nuclear powers in wars in Ukraine and Gaza. So sleep well, everyone. And more You can find links to all of the podcasts we're involved in on our podcasts page. But here's a summary of where we're up to right now. 500 Year Diary is our latest new Doctor Who podcast, going back through the history of the show and examining new themes and ideas. Its first season came out early this year, under the title New Beginnings. Check it out. It will be back for a second season early in 2025. The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire has broadcast our hot takes on every new episode of Doctor Who since November last year, and it will be back again in 2025 for Season 2. Brendan and Bjay's gaming podcast The Bjay BJ Game Show has just released a new episode today, in which they discuss Lost in Play (2022), a point-and-click adventure set in the imagination of two young children. Brendan, Richard and Steven have also just released another episode of their Avengers podcast The Three Handed Game. It's the first episode of their triptych The Pop Explosion, covering a monochrome Emma Peel episode called Death at Bargain Prices, in which Steed and Mrs Peel go undercover in a London department store and discover a plot to blow up much of the city. And finally there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. This week, we laughed and clapped as the crew of the USS Protostar saved the Federation in the two-part Season 1 finale of Star Trek: Prodigy.

Sally is joined by Shannon Spence (P*NK LAB GRL! Burn it Down!, Kid Internet Connect) for a chat about their shared backgrounds and interest in medical illustration.

Pulp genre fiction has produced some monumental successes (from a financial POV), and today we're tackling probably the second-biggest after Stephen King: Michael Crichton. His career as a novelist of the Campbell "hard Sci-fi" school got started in properly in 1969 with the first novel released under his real name, The Andromeda Strain. We look at this particular book and the movie that adapted it in the latest episode, and examine when "hard SF" becomes a gloss over...something else.

Today we're unlocking our very first episode of CrichtonCast, our Michael Crichton spinoff podcast exclusive to The Barrens. In this installment, host Randall Colburn is joined by Losers Dan Caffrey and Justin Gerber to discuss The Andromeda Strain, the crunchy, science-forward supernatural virus story that propelled Crichton, then a Harvard Medical graduate in his mid-20s, into literary stardom.  Together they weigh in on Crichton's early life, the book's origins, its clever use of verisimilitude, intellectual distrust, the charms of Robert Wise's ultra-faithful 1971 adaptation, and the ways in which it dovetails with King's own pandemic tale, The Stand.  Want more?

Have they stopped with the whole ‘Space War on Terror' and does Earth look less like a poor Xbox game background?In Borderland, the mission's off to a bad start as Orion slavers abduct a lot of the crew. Then in Cold Station 12 we get one of those TOS-style space stations dedicated to science and a ton of deadly viruses.

In this episode we return to the theme of Planetary Protection, continuing the conversation we started in episodes 19 and 20 where we discussed the return of samples from Asteroid Bennu to Earth in NASA's recent OSIRIS Rex mission.  There we talked about what measures were taken to protect the biosphere of Earth from any unforeseen biological agents that such a sample may harbor, hearkening back to the plot of Michael Crichton's famous novel 'The Andromeda Strain'.  In this episode we continue down this road with science fiction author Edward M. Lerner, this time contemplating the difficulties and dangers inherent in a return of samples from Mars to Earth, in his new novel 'Life and Death on Mars'.  We discuss the difference between samples from asteroids and samples from Mars, and contemplate the possible existence of life on Mars along with the various possible consequences of its interaction with life on Earth. We also talk about the international collaborative efforts in the space station and the return to the Moon, how the Moon can act as a stepping stone in the race to Mars, what resources can form the basis of an economy and permanent presence on Mars, using a Mars base to exploit the mineral wealth of the asteroid belt, and imagine what may become the next space race after Mars.Buzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

It's easy to get technical when you're writing copy about a highly technical subject. But that's when you lose your audience.Instead ask, "What problem is this solving for my customer?" And explain it in their language.That's one strategy inspired by Michael Crichton that we're ​​​​exploring today with the CMO of Promo.com, Joel Horwitz. Together, we talk about writing in layman's terms, thoroughly researching the problem you're trying to solve, and learning something new about marketing every day.​​About our guest, Joel HorwitzJoel is an experienced High-Tech Marketing professional with a diverse background in data science & engineering, product strategy and digital marketing. Prior to Promo.com, he was the Chief Marketing Officer of AudioEye where he led the Go-To-Market team with a Product-Led Growth Strategy that helped grow the company from less than 300 customers to over 30,000 in a year. Prior to that, at IBM, he championed the value of a Digital Go-To-Market as the Global Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Digital Offerings for IBM's Digital Business Group. In addition, his extensive background in Data + AI has helped him lead breakthrough customer experiences including the AudioEye Accessibility Solution, IBM Data Science Experience, Alpine Data Labs Modeler, Datameer Sheets for Hadoop, H2O.ai Sparkling Water, and more; through the introduction of platform partnerships, self-service offerings, and digital go-to-market.Joel holds an MBA in International Business from the University of Pittsburgh, an MS and BS in Nanotechnology from the College of Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA. He is a board member of NUMFocus, an advisor to a number of startups, and a volunteer in his local community. About Promo.comOriginally launched in 2016 as a B2B video creation and distribution platform, Promo.com has since won numerous awards, scored top customer reviews and has been deployed by Fortune 500 companies for social media marketing purposes for 10,000+ Brands. Promo.com's latest product, PromoAI Copilot, soft-launched in October 2023, gaining over 1,000 customers who are now using the Promo.com Platform. Its latest product, PromoAI Copilot is now available at Promo.com or on the OpenAI GPT Store.About Michael CrichtonMichael Crichton is the late award-winning author, screenwriter and filmmaker, having passed away in 2008. He's most known for having written Jurassic Park and having created ER. He was incredibly prolific. So he's also known for books, movies and TV shows like The Andromeda Strain, The Lost World, Westworld, and all the other Jurassic movies (Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, etc.) He also wrote frequently under the pseudonym John Lange of Jeffery Hudson. He has sold 200 million books, and his books have been translated into 38 languages, and 13 of them have been made into movies. He has an Emmy and a Peabody among other awards.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Michael Crichton:Write in layman's terms. Even when it's a highly technical product or concept, write so the general reader can understand your topic. Joel says, “What makes Michael Crichton remarkable is his ability to explain highly complex and difficult ideas in a way that a nine year old can understand them. If you're in the high tech industry, you're working with cryptocurrencies, blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or large language models. All this stuff is very difficult to understand if you're a novice. So if you can communicate these ideas and not just explain them for what they are, but then to try to compel somebody to be interested in these ideas and then extrapolate a whole story and a whole vision of where this could take us, that to me is Remarkable.”Thoroughly research the problem you're trying to solve. Become an expert on the topic and then teach your audience about it. Explaining how your product solves the problem in detail and backing it up with research builds credibility as well as drives engagement and conversion. Joel says, “Ultimately, marketers are teachers. What are we really doing with content marketing? We're teaching people about how to think about a particular product area. A lot of the work goes into really making sure you've got the problem right that you need to solve. Not as much on the solutioning side. Usually it's like, ‘What is the problem that we're trying to actually solve here?' And researching that.” And he adds, “Not just reading, but actually, for example, going to the location or going out and actually talking to customers.”Learn something new about marketing every day. Ask questions and be intensely curious. Learn from your peers, from Google searches, or subscribe to a newsletter like Harry Dry's, Devin Reed's or Emily Kramer's. Joel says, “Constantly be learning, coming into things with a beginner's mindset. I think that's another big thing Michael Crichton does well. He asks a lot of good questions. My grandfather told me the smartest men and women ask the best questions. They act as if you don't know something because that's how you learn.”Quotes*”I was never one for the big unveil. I've always been like, ‘All right, what are the things that we can incrementally change and test to see if we're moving things in the right direction?'” - Joel Horwitz*”I think we often think of, ‘Who's that one ideal customer profile or who's that one champion that we need to target?' But these decisions, especially B2B, they're never made by a single person. It's almost always a team. And so it's really helpful for me to think about, ‘Who are the different personalities in the room that I'm speaking to?' Because I think if you can convince them or they can all see kind of their own story, their own journey, and how this product or how the solution is going to help them, I think you have a much better chance of getting their attention.” - Joel HorwitzTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Joel Horwitz, CMO of Promo.com[1:35] Why are we talking about Michael Crichton?[5:41] What does Joel's work at Promo.com entail?[8:27] Who is Michael Crichton?[13:22] What was Michael Crichton's creative process?[17:35] What makes Michael Crichton remarkable?[32:56] What B2B marketing lessons can we take from Michael Crichton?[50:13] What have Joel's favorite campaigns been over the years?[53:10] What's next for Promo.com?LinksLearn more about Michael CrichtonConnect with Joel on LinkedInLearn more about Promo.comAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Thanks for patience with the delay in posting the show this morning. This week Megan and Dave talk about ORIGIN (2:51), director and screenwriter Ava DuVernay's adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson's book Caste, starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as Wilkerson, Jon Bernthal as Wilkerson's husband Brett, and Niecy Nash-Betts as Wilkerson's cousin and best friend Marion. All three of us watched I.S.S. (21:32), starring Ariana DeBose and Chris Messina, in a tale as old as time: The United States and Russia are at war, so the astronauts and cosmonauts on the international space station in Earth's orbit are instructed to take the structure in the name of their respective nations by any means necessary. Ah, science! And over on Patreon, we talk THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, the 1971 film based on Michael Crichton's novel.

This conversation was a great example of what we're trying to do with this podcast, the perfect balance between Science and Science Fiction.  Marty sits down with Dr. Tim Swindle to discuss The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton and The Andromeda Evolution by Daniel H. Wilson, in relation to NASA's OSIRIS REx mission which has returned a sample of Asteroid Bennu to Earth, as well as the upcoming Mars Sample Return mission.  Dr. Swindle is a professor emeritus from the University of Arizona who  specializes is radiometric chronology, which makes it possible measure the ages of very old things in space and on earth by characterizing the relative balance of various radio-isotopes, much like Carbon dating but with different atoms like Potassium and Argon.  We discuss the natural exchange of material between all the bodies in our solar system and maybe even other solar systems, and reflect on the possibility that the genesis of life may be a collective effort of molecules created in various places across the solar system.  We learn about meteors and cosmic dust and how they can penetrate our atmosphere to land on Earth without burning up.  We also speculate about the likely carbon-based composition of extraterrestrial life if ever we find it, and the likelihood that life which evolved in a radically different extra-terrestrial environment could not harm the life that has evolved on Earth.Timothy Swindle | Lunar and Planetary Laboratory & Department of Planetary Sciences | The University of Arizona:https://www.lpl.arizona.edu/faculty/swindleOSIRIS-REx - NASA Science:https://science.nasa.gov/mission/osiris-rex/The Andromeda Strain - Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andromeda_StrainThe Andromeda Evolution - Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andromeda_EvolutionThe Andromeda Evolution (Andromeda, #2) by Daniel H.

NASA's recent OSIRIS-REx mission has returned a sample of asteroid Bennu all the way to Earth for detailed analysis.  It is difficult to ignore the tempting similarities of this mission to the plot of Michael Crichton's 'The Andromeda Strain' and its sequel, Daniel H. Wilson's 'The Andromeda Evolution' - so in this episode Marty discusses Planetary Protection with Thomas Zega, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona :  what considerations and safeguards are in place to not only protect the sample from contamination by Earth, but Earth from contamination by the sample?  We discuss the threat classification system employed by NASA when bringing astro-materials to earth, along with the inhospitable nature of the interplanetary environment to life as we know it, and the lines of evidence that should reassure us that we will not be wiped out by an unknown space pandemic.  We also talk about tardigrades, panspermia, space-borne precursors to life, as well as the composition and minerology of asteroids and what they tell us about the evolution and structure of our solar system.

    The Electronic Music of the 1970s series continues with a trip back to 1971. This year was a bit easier to curate than '70 because we have a few more good uses of electronic instruments featured prominently. For me, the best electronic album of 1971 is "Zero Time" by Tonto's Expanding Head Band. It's very synthetic sounding without being too cheezy. I enjoyed discovering new music for this mix like "The Andromeda Strain" soundtrack and a Tangerine Dream soundtrack for an unreleased movie. I hope you too discover something new in this journey back to 1971.

Late last year, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights announced their next flight. Dubbed the Enterprise mission, it will see the remains of several Star Trek luminaries journeying into the final frontier on the Vulcan Centaur rocket. Since the announcement, I've had the pleasure of interviewing friends and family members of the late, great cast and crew who will be blasting off next month. Throughout the months of April and May, I'll be releasing those interviews. Douglas Trumbull is a special effects legend, getting his start on Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and moving on to films like The Andromeda Strain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Trumbull is going to space on the Enterprise mission and his widow, Julia, joined me to talk about his legacy. The Enterprise mission is looking to blast off in June or July, and you'll be able to stream it live. For the latest on the flight's schedule, head over to their website.

Michael Crichton was fresh out of Harvard Medical School when he wrote the Andromeda Strain - and we're so glad he did! The book that launched his literary career and all that followed, from Jurassic Park to Sphere.Here's the setup:A US government program is sending satellites with scoops into orbit, looking for alien organisms that can survive the void of space. When one of the scoops comes down in the Arizona desert two soldiers are sent out to pick it up. But as they get closer, they realize the signal has moved - someone has already picked up the object and moved it into the tiny town of Piedmont. As the two men pull into town, bodies line the streets. In less than five minutes they are dead too. The United States government is forced to mobilize Project Wildfire, a top-secret emergency response protocol. Four of the nation's most elite biophysicists are summoned to a clandestine underground laboratory where they must race to understand and contain the crisis. But the Andromeda Strain proves different from anything they've ever seen - and what they don't know could not only hurt them, but lead to unprecedented worldwide catastrophe.Link to buy the book (and help support the show!)Join the book club on discord!Related books we recommend:The Hot ZoneJurassic ParkChildren of RuinRendezvous with RamaRed MarsOr you can watch the episode on YouTube if you prefer video.Keep reading y'all!

Some scientists claim that if a meteorite fragment entered the earth's atmosphere with an explosive impact on the surface, possible pathogen contamination could spread “hundreds of trillions of infective viral particles." Curiously, this may have occurred in China about 2 months before the world knew of COVID-19. Perhaps it's a kind of Andromeda Strain evolution process whereby an alien organism is proliferating within the human host. We are now seeing a significant increase in fungal infections throughout the Earth's inhabitance. Can any of these so-called physical breakdowns be attributed to space microbes or space jelly?
