  • 09 - Space Billionaires, Explained: Why the Rich Keep Launching Rockets
    2025/07/07

    We break down why the richest humans on Earth are all looking up, how private spaceflight is reshaping exploration, and what it means for the rest of us mere mortals stuck in coach.

    TOD’s Episode Obsession: Luxury Space Branding & Product Placement
    This week, TOD is obsessed with rebranding the solar system. He’s pitching lunar fashion lines, Martian bottled water startups, and trying to install a hot tub on DB-1 called “The Milky Soak....”

  • 08 - Aliens, Probability, and the Fermi Paradox: Are We Alone?
    2025/06/28

    Why haven’t we found alien life yet? Let’s talk probabilities, paradoxes, telescopes, weird math, wild theories... and maybe even simulate a first contact.

    TOD’s Episode Obsession: Alien Etiquette
    This week, TOD is obsessed with interstellar diplomacy. He’s designed first-contact greeting cards in 72 galactic languages and keeps practicing bowing protocols for sentient slimes, hyper-intelligent fungi, and "species comprised entirely of empathetic starlight."

  • 07 - Rogue Planets: Drifters of the Cosmic Wasteland
    2025/06/20

    Planets with no sun. No warmth. No orbit. Just eternal darkness and the cold embrace of nothing. So… could we live on one?

    TOD’s Episode Obsession: Cosmic Loner Aesthetics

    He’s designing a line of “Roguecore” fashion, curating sad playlists for drifting planets, and insists that Jupiter would make a great brooding anti-hero in a young adult novel.

  • 06 - Faster Than Light: Warp Drives, Wormholes, and Sci-Fi
    2025/05/30

    FTL... We’re breaking physics (politely) to ask the biggest question in space travel: Can we go faster than light? From warp bubbles to wormholes, let’s explore the engines of tomorrow, and the science that might make them real.

    TOD’s Episode Obsession: Warp-Field Sommelier Culture

    TOD now identifies as a certified warp-field sommelier. He’s pairing theoretical propulsion methods with various paradoxes, curating space-time like a wine list, and wearing a tiny gravity wave cravat.

  • 05 - Black Holes: Nature's Middle Finger
    2025/05/22

    They’re mysterious, monstrous, and utterly indifferent to your hopes, dreams, or molecular cohesion. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the cosmic enigma of black holes; How they form, what they do, why they haunt physicists’ dreams, and what actually happens if you fall into one? (spoiler: it’s not great). From stellar collapse to event horizons, spaghettification to information paradoxes, we’re exploring the most dramatic “Do Not Enter” signs in the universe.

    TOD’s Obsession this week: Cosmic Horror Novels & Existential Crisis Merch
    (He’s deep into reading Lovecraft, designing his own line of emotionally supportive gravity blankets, and trying to trademark the phrase “Spaghettify Me, Daddy.”)

    There are stickers... There is regret...

  • 04 - Terraforming 101: How to Ruin Another Planet
    2025/05/14

    Terraforming: the ultimate cosmic home renovation. In this episode, we dig into what it is, how it might work (if science fiction politely becomes science fact), and whether reshaping entire planets is visionary… or just interstellar hubris. From altering atmospheres to engineering ecosystems, we explore the wild theories, real technologies, and big ethical questions behind humanity’s dream of turning dead worlds into second homes.

    TOD’s obsession this week: Planetary Interior Design... He’s been binge-watching Extreme Makeover: Solar System Edition and insists every planet needs mood lighting, geothermal spa zones, and just a splash of lava for ambiance. Mars is getting a skylight.

  • 03 - Quantum Weirdness: Why Reality is Probably Broken
    2025/04/29

    Superposition. Entanglement. The Observer Effect. Let’s unpack the strangest facts of quantum physics... and what it might mean for space, time, and our fragile understanding of reality.

    TOD’s Weekly Obsession: Schrödinger’s Cat & Quantum Merchandising
    This week, TOD is designing a full fashion line based on quantum uncertainty. Think: reversible hoodies labeled “Alive/Dead,” glow-in-the-dark mugs that only reveal themselves when observed, and a cologne called Waveform Collapse.
