Episode 484: The Who, What and Why of Space Colonization!
The Blasters & Blades Podcast
Today we’re diving into the deep waters of space colonization with a fun group of uber nerds. We had Jana S Brown (aka Jena Rey), Jesse James Fain, JT Arralle, Matthew Bowman and Nathan Pedde on so they could bloviate with us. We’ll be back for more episodes on the topic, but we scratched the surface. We talked some on the real science and some on the handwavium, but we had fun as we did it! Seriously, go check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!!
Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.
Co-Hosts:
JR Handley (Author) (Grunt)
Nick Garber (Comic Book Artist) (Super Grunt)
Madam Stabby Stab (Uber Fan) (Horror Nerd)
