The second one about the copper plating, I mean, I could see that they could come up with some type of enhanced cooling system that's a lot more energy efficient, you know, using these 3D printed copper plates.

Now, Kara did not like the fish swimming backwards with its rear fin, right?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Yeah, I mean, and that just seems to go against everything that that's designed to do.

Kara did not like this one.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

I don't like this one either.

The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

I wonder, Jay, do they do what they did in Apollo 13?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Like, okay, we have this important problem.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

Here's all the things that they have at their disposal.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Let's figure out how to fix this.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

And then when they fix it on the ground, they tell them, all right, this is what you do.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

I wonder if it was even at that level of... I mean, it wasn't a life or death thing.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

For the shielding?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

No, for the crapper.
