A couple days late and a few dollars short but here we are. Despite the delay we have a bang up show for you tonight. We dig into the recent Artemis II mission to the moon, what they found and thoughts on the whole thing. We touch on some linux news, and lego pieces; dig into the new mutant team on the block and stay with Pikachu. We tread into the world of sci-fi becoming reality and have a great time snapping some pickles.
