Could We Colonize a Gas Giant? What if we were Vampires?

feat. Dr Simon Clark

In this absolutely absurd episode, Dr Simon Clark ponders if human's could colonize an atmosphere like Jupiter's -- Star Wars Cloud City is on trial. Plus, since we’re talking about gas giants — Julian — digs into the evolutionary experiment that could give rise to a vampire. But first, Trace leads us off by learning about the uneven distribution of kitty cat toe beans!

QUESTIONS

Trace: "Why do cats have different numbers of toe beans on their front and back paws?" from Simon

Simon: "Could we colonize a breathable gas giant?" from Drew

Julian: "What environmental pressures would have to be present to lead to the evolution of humanoid vampires?" from Jade
