I'M YOUR VENUS: In 1768, Lieutenant James Cook set sail to observe a twice-in-a-lifetime astronomical event – the transit of Venus. Secretly, he had also been ordered to look for the "great Southern Continent" (that's us!) and claim it in the name of King George III. But what exactly is the transit of Venus, and what did it mean for 1700s astronomy? Tangents include: Fran Drescher, astrology, hula hoops, cryogenics, Guillaume le Gentil & Star Trek: The Original Series.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY: Mates in Space is made on Kaurna Country, never ceded. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We also pay respect to other First Nation peoples.

ABOUT US: Mates in Space is a podcast about how we’re going to get to space without taking all of Earth’s bulls**t up with us! Each week, your hosts Jack and Justin will tell a different space story, in preparation for Australia’s exciting new future among the stars. It’s a bit nerdy, a bit sciency, and a lot of fun.

Mates in Space is now an independent podcast! Produced by Jack Eaton and Justin McArthur; hosted at P. Zinner & Co. For more info, check out our website at http://matesin.space

Justin McArthur and Jack Eaton are going to get to space, without taking Earth’s bulls**t up with them. As Australia plans for a future among the stars, we’re stuck hearing about the joyrides of billionaires — but there are far more interesting conversations to be had. 'Mates in Space' is a science comedy podcast about our space aspirations, featuring a mix of narrative journalism, interviews with experts, and (occasionally) jokes. It’s a bit nerdy, a bit sciency, and a lot of fun. Dr Karl, eat your heart out.
