This week on the Space Nerds podcast: SPACE NEWS: Would you live in a mushroom house on Mars? Jesse beams in Doug to discuss a whole new type of space mushrooms. Read the original article from Futurism.com: https://futurism.com/the-byte/nasa-grow-moon-base-mushrooms BLACK MIRROR: Alexandria and Jesse break down ‘Be Right Back,’ in which people can be re-created after their death using their social media profiles. They discuss whether or not they would want to be re-created, or if they would want an android version of a deceased loved one. They also discuss their current relationship to social media, and how it was affected by the 2016 election (politics trigger warning).
