  • Informative and entertaining

    Only one episode in and I'm hooked. Jacob and Lucas really know their science and present it in way that's easy to follow, even if some of it is pretty sciency.

Their ideas are well thought out. Their banter is fun and easy to follow. I look forward to more. (I liked t... more

    Only two episodes in and I’m hooked. Jacob and Lucas really know their science and present it in way that’s easy to follow, even if some of it is pretty sciency. Some ideas, like smashing Gannymeade into Mars to make it more earth-like may seem completely improbable and reckless (and it may be) but they present it in a way that makes you believe it could work. Their ideas are well thought out. Their banter is fun and easy to follow. I look forward to more.
