We talk Greenland’s odd brush with U.S. history, revisit a polarizing moment from last January to explore how headlines shape our empathy, and compare two very different space sagas: a swift medical evacuation that brought a crew home and the long, weary wait of Starliner astronauts who spent 286 days in orbit after thruster problems. Then comes the moon, twice—Artemis 2 edging toward a launch window and a flashy pitch for a quarter-million-dollar “lunar hotel” that asks who exploration is really for.We bring it back to ground with an earthquake roundup. A few magnitude 6 events make global noise, but the tremors that prick our attention are the small ones in Missouri, Illinois, and Tennessee. The New Madrid seismic zone has a history that turns minor shakes into teachable moments about readiness. Alongside that, space weather flexes with geomagnetic storms and a jittery K-index that thrill aurora chasers while frustrating ham radio operators. It’s a reminder that Earth’s magnetic mood and our daily routines are more connected than they seem.Finally, we pivot to a crisp weather snapshot—southern Illinois warming just long enough to set up a bitter plunge into single digits and heavy snow—and share listener milestones from 59 countries and 423 cities. We close with a story-poem about mist, storm, and belonging, a simple call to stand together when the monster looms.
