Podcast Episode Summary
Beam Me Up @ www.beammeuppodcast.com
Beam Me Up episode 239 moves fast this week, so buckle in! After a bit of foolishness, we bring in Oddcube for a serious....(oddcube?) review of Thongor Against the Gods by Lin Carter. At the bottom of the hour, we revisit Colin P. Davis' PestWorld universe for the second episode of Red Robot. I hope you are enjoying this story arc as much as I am!
From the Beam Me Up blog at http://wrfrbeameup.blogspot.com/ I review the Blu-ray of Eureka 7 Good Night Sleep Tight Young Lovers. This is a, for all intents and purposes, a reboot of the Eureka 7 Renton / Eureka story universe. Even though many of the characters are recognizable, their back story is very different, including those of Renton and Eureka.
I also have enough time to mention the launch and re-entry of Dragon supply module launched aboard the Falcon 9 launch vehicle by Space X. This puts Space X in very exclusive company indeed! A company of one as Space X is the first commercial launch company that has sucessfully re-entered a spacecraft from orbit.
Stories that did not make this week's program was a flyby of Saturn's moon Hyperion by the Cassini explorer. I have a short video, made from stills from the probe which shows the moon's rotational characteristics, and they are some of the most chaotic I can remember ever seeing short of a special effects movie. Something you just have to see to get the whole comedic impact is the short film that is a tongue in cheek post apocalyptic survival guide called "Ducked and Covered: A Survival Guide to the Post Apocalypse"
Short on description, long on entertainment...I crack myself up....
