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
May 1700:20:33Tap to summarizeOne of the benefits of being lost in space is that you get to visit planets that nobody has ever been to before.

75: Scandium
Sep 18, 2022Tap to summarizeScandium, Scandium, wherefore art thou, oh Scandium? An actual rare-earth-element, Scandium turned out to be much less rare in the rest of the galaxy. On top of that, all the scientists in the universe haven't managed to come up with a proper use for it. In this episode, we discuss Scandium mining, Scandium mascots and Scandium paperweights. Coincidentally, we also answer a listener question about mining!To confirm this episode went back in time, please email michaellasagna5@gmail.com with the episode number in the subject line.
