John Batchelor and I highlighted what we called out as top trends and guests during the year.  John went for three trends including commercial activities, the ISS and  SpaceX with Starship and Superheavy changing paradigms.  I called out the guests we had on talking about what Earth would look like to a being on a distant exoplanet.  In addition, I shouted out for Avi Loeb and his ET research regarding fast moving interstellar objects plus work only being tolerated due to his tenure status per his recent book which we discussed on Hotel Mars.  Finally, I also shouted out for the commercial fusion industry and our fusion guest, Stephanie Thomas from Princeton Satellite Systems.  This Hotel Mars program was one segment timing out at about 10.5 minutes.
