A keen observer of the news will have noticed a constant and steady march towards exploring and learning more about our own solar system. Many believe it’s unlikely man could travel beyond our solar system, and the very task of man visiting a neighboring planet such as Mars may be the absolute limits of our technology for the next 100 years.

We’ve talked in the past about deep space travel, faster than light travel, and even worm holes and black holes. Tonight we take a practical look at space travel, and what our local space neighborhood might look like in roughly 100 years!

Cyber Addiction | Jupiter@Nite | 9.1.10

chris@jupiterbroadcasting.com (Jupiter Broadcasting) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:42:33 -0700

We all use computers on a daily basis. Most of our time is spent staring into the soft glow of a screen of some design or another, whether it be a PC, handheld device, or cell phone. But what happens when our normal interaction with these useful tools, crosses the line into addiction?

Games are touted as the number one cause of cyber addiction. But could it be something more sinister? Or is mankind simply wired to need the things it wants?

In a world where a single traffic jam might not un-snarl for MONTHS, we need to think about more economic choices for driving.

Faster Than Light | Jupiter@Nite | 8.18.10

chris@jupiterbroadcasting.com (Jupiter Broadcasting) — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 23:01:16 -0700

Recently, the scientific community has been a-buzz with talk of extra-terrestrial lifeforms. The buzz was kickstarted back into the spotlight by SETIcon (Aug 13-16) and comments made by Stephen Hawking (aka, the smartest man in the universe), stating that it’s now only a matter of time before First Contact is made. And that it won’t be a good thing, when it happens.

What would be the results of mankind’s first alien encounter? How will aliens react to us, and how would they get here in the first place? Should we be actively seeking them out, or trying to hide from the view of the galaxy?

chris@jupiterbroadcasting.com (Jupiter Broadcasting) — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:06:38 -0700

Is 3D just another attempt at our cash, or a real theater feature? Ticket prices go up, concession treats are expensive and awful for you, home theaters are bigger and better every year… So why are we still going to the movie theater?

The Expendables opened to $32.5 million in profits, Toy Story 3 has crossed $400 million in revenue.

A boxer, an award-winning high diver, a world-champion martial artist, the most popular pro wrestler ever, a 5-time UFC champion, a karate champ, and a pro NFL player. Plus a hairdresser and a musician. These guys are respectable ass-kickers, both on the screen, and off.

But how’d they do on their own, back in those days? We’ll discuss the highlights and lowlights of the past lives of these big screen badasses.
