In this episode we get down on some science fact! Highlights: we get the “billyons and billyons” jokes out of the way up front, enjoy Cosmos’ wonderful mix of astronomy and humanities, ponder the role of man in the keeping of history, discuss the difference between fact and opinion, enjoy the awesome circle of inspiration between science fiction and science fact, wonder if exploration will continue at the rate it did during Cosmos’ production, and watch Audra lose about $0.47 American.
