Fairytale Science Presents: Jack and the Beanstalk Fairytale Science

We've all been duped before, like that time we e-transferred a $2,000 "holding fee" to a Nigerian prince so they could send millions of dollars back to us. Today's episode is about Jack and the Beanstalk - the archetype ruse, and this one doesn't make you feel better after never hearing back from your royal fraudster, nothing will.  A little botany, a little physics, a little meteorology, and a lot of disappointment - join us and find out just what happens when Jack decides to explore a world above the clouds.
