episode 260 of Beam Me Up is online


This week is episode 260. I start off with music from the Sacramento State Jazz Singers as they do an a-capella version of the Bear McCreary’s Battlestar Galactica “All Along the Watch tower” It is an impressive version of this complex song. To lighten things up, Odd cube once again joins the fray and reviews Mister Destiny as only Odd Cube can.

This week from the blog, SETI has lost it’s 2.5 million budget and I put it into perspective with the cost of some of the countries and the DOD’s pet projects, You too can take a trip around the moon in a Soyuz capsule, all it takes is 150 million dollars, Antipodean has a new issue, Richard Branson is not the only game in town when it comes to diving to the deepest place in Earth’s oceans, The NASA Messenger probe is sending back great pictures, but one of them has something strange on it.

And this week’s story is part two of Fox Dunham’s The Heretic’s Son, the ship is an ancient generation ship and it is wearing out. The prophet needs to come soon to guide the people to nu ome. Cody is sick and near death and nothing seems to make sense. Join us for the conclusion of one of the most engaging stories we have had in a while.
