To celebrate the launch of Artemis I and the beginning of NASA's next chapter on the Moon, we're looking around our own home-sweet-home this week: Clavius Base!
When was it built, and is it part of our evolutionary destiny? Were we meant to dig up the Monolith? How can we live here, and how many of you could potentially visit at one time? Turns out it's a pretty big place...but with very few snacks.
Plus: getting up close to the Monolith, a weekend at the Overlook, and remembering Leon Vitali.

Episode 8 - Monolith: The Sentinel

The Monolith is back and so are we! After some brief R&R aboard Space Station V, we're back on base - full of Howard Johnson's and duty-free gin - and ready to explore the myth, the meaning, and the makeup of this most iconic of parallelograms.
SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF ALERT!! This episode contains shockingly earthly materials and techniques used to build and film the monolith which may reduce your sense of awe and wonder. There will be a warning.
Plus: the sound of liquor being poured onto Joan Collins.

Episode 7 - Monolith: The Encounter

A mysterious object has arrived, and we buckle down for a wild ride through the various concepts, designs and possible meanings of the Tycho Magnetic Anomaly known as the MONOLITH.

Plus: psychedelic TV tendrils, Gigolo Joe, and Mass Effect! It's Gucci.
