A nice solid talk show this week, with lots of check-ins from our regular irregulars and lots of good stories to think about and chew on.  It appears the Russians wil be the first to have shot a feature film in space aboart the ISS.  And NASA’s latest craft, LUCY, will be probing the outer reaches of the asteroid belt, with particular interest in the giant Trojan rocks, one of which may have been the cause of extinction of the dinosaurs, 67 million years ago.  And naturally all of us had comments about ‘Captain Kirk’ in space this last week..Taylor Barcroft gives us his update on the big Apple Computer announcements this week. Hint: the new MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip is an evolutionary leap, a game changer..

We also hear from Grace, the first android robot with a bedside manner with nurse assistant training, the UAE success in generating rain with drones, a significant advancement in portable fission reactors, and a discussion on mind control vs mind liberation.  Enjoy!
