Beyond the Airwaves Episode 75 -- Science Fiction's Influence on Scientists

This is Beyond the Airwaves: The Infinity Project, where we go beyond the mainstream media and tackle issues that don't seem so important to the major networks.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, the astrophysicist we've all seen on the recent Cosmos series on Fox. Would you believe he was influenced to become an astrophysicist by the 1951 original The Day the Earth Stood Still? In this unique episode, we'll highlight 15 scientists explaining what science fiction books and movies got them interested in the various fields. As time permits, we'll talk about other things as well.

Ikari Chaos-San is the founder and creator. Shirley is truly the Oddball Extreme. Janet is our resident Arizona Magician. Tim is the Tokusatsu Master. Heather is Queen Kitty Serenity. MikeBoyens is our video game wizard. We'll also have appearances by our friends from the MAD HOUSE, so come and listen in!
