Send us a textFat Batman and Asthmatic Robin are out of a life inducing exile after a long bout of Murphy's Law saying, "Hold my beer, and watch this!" Being an adult is hard and "adulting" takes up a lot of time. Now our intrepid hosts are back and Ed is once again nerding out on sciencey things. All the while Kara sits patiently while Ed tries and fails to bring out his inner Neil deGrasse Tyson.  In this episode, the famous Hubble Space Telescope's origin story is under the magnifying lens so to speak. We all love the pictures this instrument has been pumping out for decades, but few remember or know that the process to get this thing built took decades and was fraught with one trashcan fire after another. Everything from funding issues, to mirror grinding issues, to even exploding space shuttles. The fact that it is doing so well now is a testament to humanity's inability to control Murphy's Law... but it's cute when it does try.  Sit back, relax, plug your earholes with some electrified magnets and relish the return of the top 150,000th podcast in Kalispell, Montana. Hey before you go!
