BMU # 277 Online



In Beam Me Up episode 277 we take on Labor Day weekend by doing as little as possible!
This week’s program came out fine though. I start of with y John Anealio doing Summer Glau.

Then for our first story which this week is episode 16 of the ongoing saga of the Dark InSpectre series by Jason Kahn. This week find inspector Garrett following clues and a psychic scream to locations that offer little advantage to our inspector. We find him in the worst of places, knowing even worse things. Things that others would kill to prevent from ever seeing the light of day.

The final story is part four and the conclusion to Keith Latch’s ‘The Stars Fell’. Sophie’s life now smothering unhappiness. With the loss of her entire family has taken away her reason for living or any reason TO live. It had been three weeks since the accident and she had hardly left her bed, but now, something strange had happened, she had been drawn outside by the most unusual occurrence….. The Stars were Falling……

In blog and other articles….from Earth / Sky a short article on the status of Cern antimatter containment, Dan drops in this month’s sky based occurrences, I read off the things to look for from the third to the tenth of September.

In the blog, Located about an eighth of the way toward the center of the Milky Way from the Earth is the strangest planet….one made of diamonds! ISS Crews NASA and Russian mission control are all holding their collective breathes as technicians try to uncover the cause of the Progress supply ship malfunction. If it can not be uncovered then the ISS will have to be abandoned as there is now no other system ready to lift crew to the station. In what has to be a WTF moment…. Chinese scientists are studying ways to capture an asteroid and bring it into Earth orbit! Why? There’s money in them thar asteroids! Especially metallic based asteroids.
Xnewsman sends in a link to a you-tube video concerning computer banking as predicted in 1969 and you know, they got a lot right! Chat-bots are often used as Web chat support agents to help you solve basic problems. When they are interacting with a person, they seem very strange as they converse in an almost lifelike fashion – but you have got to see what happens when two of these things are hooked up to talk to one another! I play the audio and it is plain rib cracking funny! And finally – Rover Opportunity, in the seventh year of it’s 90 day mission has arrived at the Martian crater Endeavour to help researchers understand ‘compositional differences’ of the rocks surrounding the crater. Crater Endeavour is much larger than the last one visited by Opportunity, which was the Victoria crater.
