Hi. Companies owned by Elon Musk are now essential to how nations explore space and get connected on satellite internet. Perhaps Musk and other billionaires shouldn't be able to do unfettered capitalism in the cosmos? Especially when they claim to be driven and inspired by stories of moneyless space communism?

Elon is going to have a very vocal breakup with Trump over the coming years...weeks...days

SMN is really really such a bright spot in all this madness. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Andrew Duck

I’ve played all 6 space quest games, so I got the Roger Wilco reference.

Even though every week in this capitalist hellscape is an absolute nightmare, this show and the little “thank yous” during the ad breaks really help to soothe my spiraling mental health. 🥰

Gawdamn it's so sad what they've done to space. The international space station?!? As a trekky, it's deeply offensive to me any time elon is mentioned talking about trek. Odo would see him out.

John DeVore

The Space Cop reference sent me. Great stuff.

The Bell Riots, for anyone who is unfamiliar, were a series of violent confrontations that took place in California in the early 2000's after SMN head writer David Christopher Bell led a week of bitter protests in front of Paramount Studios in response to network alterations to the theme song of 'Star Trek: Enterprise'

Vance

Can we send Elon to Mars already?

Josh V.

It's sad and predictable that rich conservative idiots have no media literacy. Elon: Star wars really impacted me. I can only assume he means by looking at the empire and being like yeah that's what I wanna do, better start recruiting a horde of Nazis to populate my death star with.

Katie seems like a good hugger. Also... man this episode makes me sad about space.

Steve Snyder

Had to fast-forward to see who the writer was when I heard that Malcolm McDowell quote. Telltale fingerprint of Mr. Bell.

Inquiro Haqq

Alright, the real question is which Star Wars is the two and the six?

Jeremy Edins

The wildest part of that Shatner bit is that it was an honest, human moment from Shatner that clearly affected him in a powerful way...and Bezos just wanted to pop champagne with models and brag about his giant space dick.

I love love this show! Even you rambling in the ads!! Hang in there people. Keep having fun telling us about the dystopia!! Remember even though our activism is serious, we can have fun tearing the whole thing down! Thank you for this important work.
