  • 260: ☆ Mystic Mountain
    Apr 5 2026

    It's amazing how many things you can cram into a single space tour! We're one week in and have seen and done so much! It's hard to summarise that all in one short episode, but we're trying anyway. We jump back and forth quite a bit, and we not only talk about the different places we've visited, but also about the on-board entertainment. And about the thing we broke, obviously.

    Mar 29 2026

    We've just embarked on our very first space tour! And not just our very first space tour, but humanity's very first space tour! The next two weeks will be filled with space sightseeing, big band performances, space walks, and bathing in cosmic rays. In this episode we check out our room, wonder where everything goes and what everything is for and, most importantly, when everything will happen.
