For optimum silliness, follow along with the images! When Dr. Kovalev threw his phone at us, we thought he was just sick and tired of following Brad around the ship translating all the Russian signage. Turns out, he installed Google Lens so we can finally figure it out for ourselves. Learn Cyrillic for "pitching" and "rocking," and the difference between "striking" and "stroking" when it comes to spacecraft maneuvering. Dave Bowman's voice analysis and the capabilities of LEONOV's onboard computer. Maintaining atmospheric pressure after waking from cryo-sleep (even with that terrible taste in your mouth). And why Space Shuttle Columbia's STS-93 Mission was on pins and needles. Plus: Mail Call from SAL, stale pie, and a real Honey... -- We stand for mutual respect and harmony among nations, and with the people and the sovereignty of Ukraine. -- Help children now with UNICEF Find more at spacepodyssey.com BlueSky @spacepodyssey Instagram @spacepodyssey2001 Facebook at @spacepodyssey Twitter @spacepodyssey email us at spacepodyssey2001@gmail.com 100% PRODUCED, RECORDED, EDITED & RELEASED without artificial intelligence.

An inspiring, surprising, and occasionally silly hour with four of the finest actors in film history. Thanks to the Peter Hyams - Penny Perry secret sauce of perfect casting, we’re exploring the legacy and creative lives of four acting legends: Helen Mirren, Bob Balaban, James McEachin, and John Lithgow. What they each brought to 2010 and how they epitomize their roles of Captain Kirbuk, Dr. Chandra, NCA Chair Victor Milson, and Walter Curnow. Combined, their awards and accolades in film and television, music, literature, theatre and dance would span the length of Discovery. The artistic range they have all expressed, the art they’ve created in other disciplines, and the key ethos they all share. Their advice on acting - rehearsing, auditioning, different methods of working, and living as an artist - constantly changing, pushing oneself, and staying fresh. Lessons for a lifetime of exploring and learning, breaking through conventions and making life a constant adventure. We also get a special delivery from the great Virginia Smith! Plus: the danger of the Van Allen radiation belt, Daisy makes a window, and hear Sibyl nibble kibble.

SEE: Walter & Max, The Amazing Floating Chicken Tightrope Act! LEONOV has reached DISCOVERY and is docked a safe distance away. Strap on your helmets as we join Drs. Curnow and Brailovsky outside the hatch on the ultimate thousand-yard trip through the void... The similarities to real-life EVAs, the probability of vertigo for astronauts, and the dangers of hyperventilation and nausea in space. The overall differences in tone and intention between 2001 and 2010 in the words of Clarke, Kubrick, and Hyams. How Dr. Chandra's hidden Shiva Lingam necklace hints at his journey as creator of a new life form, or as an almost religious figure, a bringer of light. Plus: will Willie Scott survive dinner? Chris Hadfield's barf bag, and let's all say it together - 3, 2, 1, "Durak!"

“All these worlds are yours, except Europa…” The Europa Clipper successfully launched in October, its mission: determine the habitability of Jupiter’s ice moon and the potential for drinkable water underneath that ice.  With that comes the almost certainty of some form of life under the icy surface. Will it be tentacled seaweed flower whales or something more…elemental? It’s the closest we’ve ever come to discovering life elsewhere in the universe, and now the whole world is talking about Europa. 2010 has been at the center of the discussion, from the movie’s probe and the fate of the Chinese mission TSIEN in the book. But everyone can agree on one thing: Attempt no landing there. Plus: a seaweed cephalopod shvitz, the Martian Pangaea, and an Eli Schwab original!   Help children now with UNICEF Find more at spacepodyssey.com BlueSky @spacepodyssey Instagram @spacepodyssey2001 Facebook at @spacepodyssey Twitter @spacepodyssey email us at spacepodyssey2001@gmail.com 100% PRODUCED, RECORDED, EDITED & RELEASED without artificial intelligence.

After orbiting Jupiter's violent volcanic moon, we've seen IO from both sides now.  Back in range and resuming regular transmissions, we present by popular demand another slice of Odyssey aficionado and world famous comic book publisher, Eli Schwab! Digging into Jack Kirby's dynamic, sometimes polarizing style, exploring the metaphysical in the Space Odyssey comics, and the spiritual dimension of his superheroes, from "Thor" to "Fantastic Four." The impact of "2001" on Kirby's art, and his contributions to the Odyssey mythos. Kirby, Clarke, and Kubrick's growing influence with future generations, and the call to lift up other artists to pay that inspiration forward. Plus: the Bible, the meaning of life, and Howard the Duck.
