The Sun is the greatest source of energy in our entire solar system. So what if we could harness it's energy directly? This theory, known as a Dyson Sphere, has been around since the 60s, but recent research indicates that this theory could be a reality right here in the Milky Way. This episode, AJ and Jud discuss the purpose of Dyson Spheres, breakdown two new studies pointing to their existence, and discuss why they may - or may not be - very realistic.
Additional Topics Include: The new SpaceX EVA suit, the new age of humanoid robots, and a brand new vacation spot - complete with space debris.
And yes, we know that the Boeing Starliner ended up not launching. Again.
