Want to hear your name on Astronomy Cast? Join our Patreon at the $10/month level or higher! To be fair, Pamela missed out on phonics, so correct pronunciation isn't guaranteed. Join to hear her mispronounces your name? That is a recommended strategy, actually.

This week, @fcain.universetoday.com & @starstryder.space take on Dyson Swarms. Some say they'll solve global warming & the energy crisis. Others look for them as signs of alien civs. These theoretical satellite swarms could be the future (but probably aren't). youtube.com/live/cySk8O0...

Happy #Podcast day, everyone!

It is arguable that humanity now has the technological ability to live on Mars. It would be done at enormous expense & sacrifice, and there are some tricky problems we haven’t solved yet. Although we could live on Mars, should we?

Now out wherever you get podcasts.

Yup - that was through Libsyn - they are our host and insert ads. We have some guidelines (no porn), but I guess we may need to see if we can add no tobacco related products if that's an option :-/
