138: Space Warfare, Deep Space Nine ‘Q-Less’ and ‘Dax’

This week on the SPACE NERDS podcast: SPACE NEWS: (starts at 1:13) Could the space around our planet become a war zone? The technology already exists to equip satellites with weaponry, and it’s up to the governments of Earth to keep space peaceful. Jesse and Alexandria discuss what could happen if future wars are fought in space, based off this article from Phys.org: https://phys.org/news/2019-10-space-war-zone.html DOUG SPACE NINE: (starts at 24:10) Doug and Jesse discuss two episodes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine season 1. First it’s ‘Q-Less,’ where Vash and Q bust in to our favorite space mall, sparring with Sisko and hocking a space egg. Then we debate whether the host can be held accountable for the crimes of the symbiont with ‘Dax,’ where the arbiters gavel steals the show.
