Don't want to piss on anyone's chips, and I definitely tuned in, but I'm slightly underwhelmed by us going for a jaunt round the moon. Everything is so dire down here, I'd be happier to see clean energy initiatives, or diplomatic breakthroughs, or the puncturing of the worldwide far right.

auto-transcription is a miracle but imperfect. we pay someone to spiffy up the deadcast transcripts before we post them (& who does an incredible job!) but even then it requires one more read. for example, i just had to edit "four-foot graphics" to "four-foot Graffix [bongs]"

the other guys - Lage, Roeder, Wollesen - weren't bad either
