Ep.13: SPACE STUFF!

On this episode of The Flask At Hand Podcast we taste and review Bushmills Irish Whiskey 10 years old. After the whiskey we fly straight up through the Earth's atmosphere and out into the emptiness of outer space only to find it's not so empty after all. Super novas, neutron stars, megnetars and strange radio transmissions from light years away are getting closer to Earth. We'll talk about the Moon's origin and what a nuclear explosion here on earth can tell us about how the moon was formed, and finally mining the Moon! How close are we to mining resources for future space travel from the Moon? We're closer than you think. With some nerdy Star Wars talk and the usual roasting of each other with the same crappy joke making you've come to love.... we give you Space Stuff! Sip, listen, learn and laugh with us! Thanks for listening. Cheers!
