This episode contains: Devon is getting back into recording music and finally learns what a DAW is. Devon also changed the pickups on a guitar, using the solder and all; and it actually worked! Steven tells us about replacing the exhaust on his Mustang. Biological Imperative: Amputees merge with their bionic leg. “Scientists have helped three amputees merge with their bionic prosthetic legs as they climb over various obstacles without having to look. The amputees report using and feeling their bionic leg as part of their own body, thanks to sensory feedback from the prosthetic leg that is delivered to nerves in the leg's stump.” We also discuss whether we would elect to have a health limb replaced with a bionic one depending on the advantages of the mechanical arm. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191002144243.htm This Week in Space: New Organic Compounds Found in Enceladus Ice Grains. “New kinds of organic compounds, the ingredients of amino acids, have been detected in the plumes bursting from Saturn's moon Enceladus. The findings are the result of the ongoing deep dive into data from NASA's Cassini mission.” WE discuss what this could mean for finding life in our solar system and galaxy. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/new-organic-compounds-found-in-enceladus-ice-grains https://www.britannica.com/science/organic-compound Sci-Fi: Force Friday happened. Apparently a lot of new Star Wars stuff won’t come out until after the new movie does for spoiler reasons. Steven also tells us about Fallen Order. Steven is reading Iron Gold, the 4th book in the Red Rising series. Devon read the second book of the Neanderthal Parallax by Robert Sawyer. Steven also read the new X-Men comics and gives us his review.

New research from the up-close Grand Finale orbits of NASA's Cassini mission shows a surprisingly powerful interaction of plasma waves moving from Saturn to its moon Enceladus.

It's time to say goodbye to an old friend, NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which has been orbiting within the Saturnian system since 2004. But why does a seemingly healthy spacecraft and mission need to come to an end? Today we look back at the mission, some of the amazing discoveries, and why its finale was necessary.

On Sept. 15, 2017, Cassini plunged into Saturn, ending its 20-year mission of discovery.

In its final hours, NASA's Cassini spacecraft returned these last looks at Saturn, its rings and moons, as it prepared to end its nearly 20-year voyage in space.

The Ringer's Ben Lindbergh and Jason Concepcion discuss Jason's return to the new and (possibly) improved 'No Man's Sky' (0:55), then bring on colleague Justin Charity to talk about celebrity streamer PewDiePie's latest offense, indie developer Campo Santo's response, the uncertain symbiosis between streamers and publishers, and why gamers get toxic online (5:55). Then they bring on NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory systems engineer Molly Bittner to discuss her work on NASA's Cassini and Europa Clipper missions, what it's like to talk to a spacecraft, how she finds time to play games while working at NASA, and her thoughts on 'Hellblade' as well as 'Destiny 2,' 'Mass Effect,' 'Kerbal Space Program,' and other space-based games (22:40). Lastly, Ben and Jason welcome The Ringer's Rob Harvilla to reflect on the 30th anniversary of the release of the original 'Metroid,' share his impressions of the newly released 'Metroid: Samus Returns,' and explain why 'Metroid' might be gaming's greatest space series (53:13).

The Cassini mission's epic 13-year exploration of Saturn is coming to a close.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has explored the Saturn system since 2004, re-writing our understanding of the giant planet, its rings, moons and magnetosphere.

Saturn's giant, hazy moon Titan has been essential to NASA's Cassini mission during its 13 thrilling years of exploration there.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft gazed toward high southern latitudes near Saturn's south pole to observe ghostly curtains of dancing light -- Saturn's southern auroras, or southern lights.

A global ocean lies beneath the icy crust of Saturn's geologically active moon Enceladus, according to new research using data from NASA's Cassini mission. Support this podcast: https://www.patreon.com/spaceindustrynews --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/space-news/support
