Rockets, Martians, and a terrible lack of communication.
This week we have Nate's programming projects, a game from Ryan, and "guilty pleasure" soda. After that, there are lots, and lots... and lots of rockets. Then, Nate and Ryan turn their attention to the main media, The Martian Contingency, where they discussed the importance of good communication, cultural context, some examples of Chekhov's gun that may as well have been a cannon.
