KJ raised the upcoming preparations for the next Mars Lander. JPL has had a ton of streaming coverage. Watch live as it is happening and that is a great thing as part of our modern world.Chulak introduced a documentary created by one man and his telescope, about how he went out and recorded the reactions of average people rediscovering the moon by telescope.

The increasing world of robotics, integrated AI’s and the possibility of robots with empathy being your perfect partner… in every way. This lead into a conversation about the differences between the World’s Fair and todays massive glut of conventions. There are so many conventions that it isn’t a unique experience anymore.On another topic, Mattel and their Barbie brand are now embracing the world of Cosplay through a new series of dolls. This first set are iconic Star Wars characters reimagined in the world of cosplay, like R2-D2 dress, and a very interesting take on Darth Vader. These are definitely not your little sister’s Barbies!Onto video and series being watched, KJ and Chulak also waxed on about Netflix and how they now spend much more time on Amazon Prime and other streaming services rather than on Netflix.The big mentions to watch are:•Amazon Prime : Good Omens – Neil Gaimon and Terry Pratchett’s book on good and evil•Amazon Prime: Quiet Earth – When an experiment goes wrong, a scientist is the last man on earth and we journey with him as his mind breaks down•Amazon Prime: Eureka – Sheriff takes a job in a bubble world where everyone deals with the secret world of Science Fiction•Netflix: Another Life – Katie Sackoff leads a CW all-star team in a deep space missionAlso on the show we talked about several KickStarter Projects.

The story follows a young elf named Brynn, who is forced to leave her family and homeland behind, and set off on a quest, so that she may somehow, save those she loves from an evil on the verge of destroying the entire realm. It’s a story of fate… gone wrong?Cozmo's Thirsty Tentacle Bar and Grill is the galaxy's not-so-local watering hole - unless, of course, you live on an asteroid, then it would be a hop and a skip away. Stop by and have a drink with the myriad lifeforms, who have come to party or to wallow in their Rygelian ale. They may become your best buddies, or you may suddenly find your wallet missing. It's hard to say what will happen when you set through the hissing door at Cozmo's, but one thing's for certain. You'll never be bored.Support small and independent publishers!: C.H.
