    May 17 2026

    One of the benefits of being lost in space is that you get to visit planets that nobody has ever been to before. In most cases that just means another lava planet, another rock planet, or another ice planet. But in rare cases you encounter something exceptional. In this episode we talk about such an experience! And about woodblocks!

    May 10 2026

    Enough with the Solar Flare Clubs and Overtourism Workshops, let's get this big chunk of metal moving properly again! This week we talk about all the different ideas we have about speeding up. Hyper Space? Investigated. Spore Drive? Researched. Tying a sun to our ship? Considered.

    May 3 2026

    We're all aboard! Because we are currently nowhere and haven't really been anywhere since last week. Regular listeners will know not to worry; when we don't really have anything to talk about, we're somehow at our best. Expect all kinds of interesting information about solar flare clubs, space ship hikes and stuffed animals. You know, the usual space travel stuff!
