170: Black Lives Matter, SpaceX Launch, DS9 ‘Progress’ and ‘If Wishes Were Horses’

This week on the Space Nerds podcast: We start off by discussing the Black Lives Matter movement with Jayne, Alexandria, Andi and Jesse. We talk about the fight to end systemic oppression, and ways we can all get involved. Here are links to the foundations we discussed: Campaign Zero: https://www.joincampaignzero.org/ Anti-Defamation League: https://www.adl.org/ SPACE NEWS: (Starts at 48:50) This time, we actually lived the Space News! We chat about watching the launch of the SpaceX Crew Dragon to the International Space Station, and what it means for the future of space travel. DOUG SPACE NINE: (Starts at 1:08:20) Doug and Jesse continue their journey through Star Trek Deep Space Nine with ‘Progress’ (S01E14) and ‘If Wishes Were Horses’ (S01E15), featuring an imaginary romp with Rumplestiltskin, a grumpy old Bajoran building Home Depot projects, and 5000 wrappages of Yamok sauce.
