The Golden Record - A Lasting Testament...or Last Testament?

In 1977 NASA sent a time capsule out into the cosmos that has since left our solar system and is traveling at 61,500 km/h through the vastness of space. That record contains a summary of our entire species...and a map to Earth. One of the coolest things ever done? Sure. Perhaps also one of the stupidest...

1km sized objects strike the Earth every 500,000 years, and we are WAY overdue. If we detected one headed for Earth today could we do anything about it?

We're planning an episode on "Ridiculous rule changes that different sports need to boost ratings." For example, in football, whoever touches the ball last on the previous play must take the next snap. Or in soccer, goal kicks can be worth more points if you kick a balloon instead of a ball. Share your ideas and we'll give you a shoutout.

Pre-Human Civilization - The Silurian Hypothesis
shorturl.at/bewH0

The Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years, but humans have only called it home for 300,000 years, a period of time so brief that if we disappeared today it's unlikely that future species would ever know that we were here. So is it stupid to assume that there were civilizations that came before us?
