Well, we did get a few good stories across, like the new Juno probe to Jupiter, the solar system internet, the Big Game and the failed Uber strike, but this show really delves more deeply into some more fundamental concepts often discussed on Dr. Future, such as media as an extension of our senses, the evolution of transportation and where it’s going next, how important Dr. Future’s chair is to him.. Listen as he almost get’s thrown into the dog house by Mrs. Future as he extolls the virtues of massage chairs!  A really entertaining, if not so informative oriented show!

Lots of animals in Future News this week, rodents predicting the end of winter, drones captured by Eagles, why cats hate water.  We have a new AI too, Alpha GO, Google’s Go playing AI that has successfully beaten the top Go player of Europe.  But all is not lost for humans this week - Apparently we have 10x more memory than previously thought, enough connections in our brains to be at about the same level of complexity as the entire World Wide Web! Wowie zowie, all we have to do now is figure out how to access all that memory, and just maybe we can get some respect from our evolving AI’s..

A fun show today with lots of good stories and callers.  We even started off with a continuing  politcal thread from the previous show on KSCO, with Charles Freedman.  For the second half of the show we had our quantum astronaut friend Christopher Altman check in for comments on several space and consciousness stories on our docket.  Look for the interesting juxtaposition between Chris and a caller, Celestine Star, a psychic intuitive from Marin..”The Psychic and the Astronaut.”  The radical differences in belief systems could have been confusing, but we thought it came off quite well!  The image below is an unusual cloud formation sent in by Celestine, who claims it is a stargate.’   Listen to her explanation and you decide wtf! Thanks, and enjoy!
