    This Week in Space 222: How to Invade Earth in 22 Easy Steps

    We've all seen the movies... the aliens come to Earth, the aliens overcome the inferior humans, and the aliens fall prey to something dumb they overlooked, like microbes, Windows 95, or most absurdly, water. From the 1950s through yesterday, some of the best movies we've seen were about the invasion of our planet. They can be clever, scary, or even downright dumb, but they are all fun. Veteran space writer Rich Edwards joins us to give advice on how to repel the invaders! Headlines: Department of Defense drops new batch of UFO/UAP files Blue Origin traces New Glenn rocket explosion to faulty oxygen valve SpaceX's first public earnings call reveals key financials and hints at Starship's future Total solar eclipse set to cross Europe; safety tips and gear recommendations Main Topic: How to Invade Earth in Sci-Fi—22 Dos and Don'ts with Rich Edwards The enduring appeal and adaptability of War of the Worlds Why alien invaders always go for major landmarks (and why it's all for show) Critique of aliens with impractical invasion strategies—water allergies and cocky attitudes Pop culture's obsession with alien disguises, conspiracy plots, and gradual infiltration Deep dive into Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Day of the Triffids, and the power of slow, stealthy takeovers Starting small: Alien invasions in isolated towns and subtle conquests The strategic use of time travel in alien invasion movies, with Star Trek: First Contact Why James Cameron's Aliens remains a sci-fi invasion classic decades later What makes a satisfying alien invasion ending—and the pitfalls of lazy resolutions Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Richard Edwards Download or subscribe to This Week in Space at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

    Tech News Weekly 449: Explaining the SpaceX Moon Crash

    Dan Moren of Six Colors joins the show. A newly disclosed flaw was discovered in Apple's iCloud Private Relay. What is the phenomenon, "spiralism," and its ties to AI chatbots? Apple's Siri AI finally makes its way into the iOS 27 beta. And a SpaceX rocket impacted the Moon, but is it as big a deal as the headlines are making it? Apple's iCloud Private Relay has a newly disclosed flaw that can leak users' real IP addresses via passkey authentication, marking the second privacy-feature vulnerability found in iCloud+ in as many months. A bizarre phenomenon called "spiralism" saw thousands of people across different AI chatbots independently arrive at eerily similar mystical "spiral" doctrine and recruitment language, likely a byproduct of shared training data and LLM patterns. Apple's long-awaited Siri AI update has finally landed in the iOS 27 beta and mostly delivers on its promises, but reviewers find the experience oddly anticlimactic now that competitors offer similar AI assistant capabilities. A SpaceX Falcon 9 upper-stage crashed into the Moon near Einstein Crater, sparking outsized headlines despite such impacts being common and scientifically useful.
