Episode 28: LOST … in Space! | E3-E5 of Lost in Space (2018) with Out of Contreks Podcast
To the chagrin of everyone involved except, perhaps, Caitlin, we have returned to cover three more episodes of the Netflix prestige show Lost in Space. Caitlin and Nicole are also joined by Ryan and Brady from their sister podcast Out of Contreks to discuss all that … didn’t … happen in these three episodes. Believe me, there was a ton of ranting that I cut out, though some of that has been preserved in the outtakes below.
On the science side, we discuss the problems with 3D printing guns, as well as rapid plant movement (yes, plants can move and not just in Mario). We also go over the science of weather balloons and whether (pun intended) you can make it all the way to space with one of them. Also, giant magic space laser pointers.
