In this episode, I chat with Susan Kaye Quinn about her engineering background, AI-generated 'art', and her passion for the new genre of hope punk. We also discuss possible versions of the singularity, aspects of humanity we might be sacrificing to technology, and the desperate need for an ethical system to inform technological development. As usual, there's also The Lightning Round and The Big Questions. Books of hers we discuss are: The Legacy Human (Singularity Series), Mindjack, The Debt Collector, and the Nothing is Promised series.

SpaceX loses its third Starship prototype during a cryogenic test Link: https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/spacex-loses-its-third-starship-prototype-during-a-cryogenic-test/ SpaceX workers in South Texas loaded the third full-scale Starship prototype—SN3—onto a test stand at the company's Boca Chica launch site. On Wednesday night, they pressure-tested the vehicle at ambient temperature with nitrogen, and SN3 performed fine. Last Thursday night SpaceX began cryo-testing the vehicle, which means it was loaded again with nitrogen, but this time it was chilled to flight-like temperatures and put under flight-like pressures. Unfortunately, a little after 2am local time, SN3 failed and began to collapse on top of itself. It appeared as if the vehicle may have lost pressurization and become top-heavy. Shortly after the failure, SpaceX's founder and chief engineer, Elon Musk, said on Twitter, "We will see what data review says in the morning, but this may have been a test configuration mistake." Here's a recap of SpaceX's efforts to test full-size Starships to date: Starship Mk1: Construction began in December, 2018. Failed during pressure test in November, 2019. Starship SN1: Construction began in October, 2019. Failed during a pressure test on Feb. 28. Starship SN2: Construction began in Feb., 2020. After SN1 failure, was converted into a test bed for thrust puck at base of rocket. Passed test on March 8, and was retired. Starship SN3: Construction began in March, 2020. Cryogenic test failure on April 3. Starship SN4: Construction began in March, 2020. Testing begins later this month?

Many may remember Benedict from the 1986 hit film “Aliens,” where he worked alongside Carrie Henn and Sigourney Weaver.

Discovered in 2019 by amateur astronomer Gennadiy Borisov, follow-up observations quickly showed that this comet was moving far, far too quickly to be bound gravitationally to the Sun. The most reasonable explanation is that it came from another star (though which one exactly is unclear), a true interstellar visitor. The weird thing about the comet — called 2I/Borisov — is how weird it isn't: If it weren't for its ridiculous velocity and trajectory, it would look just like any everyday comet from our own solar system. As it got close to the Sun the warmth heated the comet up, and the ice on and in it started to vaporize. Like locally sourced comets do, it emitted water, carbon monoxide, CN, and C2. Size estimates initially put it at a few kilometers across, but subsequent images show it's a lot smaller, probably half a kilometer in diameter. Everything about it looked… normal. Even in Hubble images taken on 23 March 2020, just a couple of weeks ago, everything looked copacetic. But then images taken on 28 March showed something had changed during the intervening few days: The comet had split in two! Is this an alien spaceship dropping off a shuttle as a prelude to invasion? Yeah, probably not*. In fact, if anything, this shows that this interstellar iceball really is just like our own solar system comets, because this sort of thing happens all the time.

We dig into the Dragon's Crown controversy this week: Are you ever turned away from a game because of creative decisions? Also, we make some backlog progress and get into Mindjack and Analogue: A Hate Story, and Paul tries out the co-op in Ibb and Obb.

Ethan never warned the Horrible Night crew that he was a PC gamer, so Coop joins Justin and Ethan to discuss the finer points of the age old PC vs Console debate. We also salute Mexico, Adobe Flash, Blue Ladies, and MicroBot. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow Apparently, when Cole is gone all Ethan and Justin want to do is fight. They invite Coop along to revive the classic PC vs Console debate. Our Threesomes of the Week take a detour to Mexico who seems to be the only country that remembers how to make real soda. The On the Spot question asks: What game did you miss out on because it was on the other platform? Thankfully, we realize that there’s nothing stopping us from going back to play those games today. In our debate, we focus on the strengths and weaknesses of PCs and Consoles while mentioning the games that define each platform for us. Our buddy @RA1NMANN ignites the keyboard vs controller debate and helps Justin realize his ultimate gaming setup. We wrap things up by trying to figure out just what makes us so loyal to our platform of choice. Seems like we could have gone on for hours more, but we manage to regroup for game industry shout-outs where we get confused all over again by Mindjack advertisements. We hope to see all of our friends in the Indianapolis area at the Horrible Night Out Tron: Legacy screening this Friday. For everyone else, get ready to start planning for our massive Mexican soda meet-up later this year.
