    269: ☆ Dark Nebula

    There's not just one Dark Nebula out there, you know? There are many! And we just happen to be in one today. We take the opportunity to debunk a lot of the theories that existed about Dark Nebulae and also speculate about which specific type this one might be. And by speculate we mean guess at random. Also, we make music! To confirm this episode went back in time, please email michaellasagna5@gmail.com with the episode number 269 in the subject line.

    268: ☆ Road Trip

    Because Grandaddy is currently undergoing maintenance, we took the opportunity to go on a quick road trip! We tossed a few things in a small pod and started to explore the solar system we're currently in. Where by "a few things" we mean drinks and the Bubble Condo, and by "explore" we mean bouncing through an asteroid storm and then laying on our backs watching the stars.

    267: ☆ Space Gadgets

    You never know when you'll need some Space Pliers! This week we collected several gadgets that our fellow passengers brought along on the Space Tour. Some of them we know what they do and some of them we don't, but for most of them we wonder why on Earth you'd bring them on a two week trip to outer space? Then again, that trip has lasted for eight weeks already, so what do we know… To confirm this episode went back in time, please email michaellasagna5@gmail.com with the episode number 267 in the subject line.

    266: ☆ New Aliens

    One of the benefits of being lost in space is that you get to visit planets that nobody has ever been to before. In most cases that just means another lava planet, another rock planet, or another ice planet. But in rare cases you encounter something exceptional. In this episode we talk about such an experience! And about woodblocks! To confirm this episode went back in time, please email michaellasagna5@gmail.com with the episode number 266 in the subject line.

    265: ☆ Hyper Warp Spores

    Enough with the Solar Flare Clubs and Overtourism Workshops, let's get this big chunk of metal moving properly again! This week we talk about all the different ideas we have about speeding up. Hyper Space? Investigated. Spore Drive? Researched. Tying a sun to our ship? Considered.

    263: ☆ Liminal Space

    We didn't just visit a planet with lots of ice. We didn't just visit a planet with lots of meteors. We didn't just meet interesting members of the crew and passenger band. And we didn't just smuggle a fluid that smells like vodka onto the ship. We did all of those things! And today we'll talk about them.

    We have all kinds of things to talk about this week! Who thought that being lost in space could be so exciting? First of all, Simon got into the first ever Passenger Council. Second, we visited a planet with a surface that retreats when you touch it. Third, we get to contribute to science! Somehow. At least a little bit.
