New Zealand4 years ago - Where has this been all my life!?!
OMG! This show is awesome! Long time listener of Fraiser Cains âWeekly Space Hangoutâ which Moiya is frequent contributor and just heard about this podcast. As an avid sci-fi and fantasy reader and watcher I think about this all the time! This is great to get real scientific and cultural views on what it actually could be like. My only wish is that it was longer!
Go Astro Mo!!!!
