Geeking with Destination Venus #18: Just Chilling

Regie messed up the LOTR discussion scheduling so you're stuck with just him again. He ponders some actual positive science news, the new Spider-Man trailer and the unexpected consequence a covid-19 spike can have for rocketry.

Geeking with Destination Venus #17: We broke the planet

Because he's still terrible at organising things and still hasn't managed to meet up with Alice to continue their Lord of the Rings discussion, and hasn't managed to meet with anyone else lately either Regie is flying solo again this week. He considers the delay to NASA's Artemis project caused by lack of Space Suits, the fact that we're probably doomed anyway and recommends some comics.

Geeking with Destination Venus Episode #16: Spaced out with Robin

But seriously - he's very much going off on one this week - his buttons have been well and truly pushed. Show notes will be available at www.destinationvenus.co.uk from 13th August 2021.
