1. That is so true about the "turn it off and back on again". LOL!
   
   RIP Vera Rubin. I have to admit that didn't know about her until she had passed away.
2. all distraction
3. Hey Fraser you have to watch this:
   IT Crowd - Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?
4. How about when the person is not dead you have to invite them on the show, at least try ^^
5. The Pathfinder Mars mission lander is the Sagan Memorial Station with the Sojourner mini-rover. So ... Uncle Carl does have a spacecraft.
6. I wonder How much does math play in Astropysics OR is it there just not observable yet ?
7. Please forgive me if this has been covered already, i've only just joined the chanel ( and please excuse my spelling) BUT when you first looked up...what was it that enticed you so much to pursue a lifetime of this type of unknown ?
8. An excellent discussion regarding one of the pioneers of Dark Matter, Vera Rubin. I first found out about her during the PBS series, THE ASTRONOMERS, back in the 90's. To see so much of her theoretical work justified has been awesome to behold!
9. Watch Astronomycast LIVE!
   
   Also, Fraser, why do you record from a different room each week?  :)
