774: Morally Deformed
Hovercraft Telescopes and the Saturday Night Debate
Adam Curry describes the "hovercraft" mechanism used to rotate the massive 10-meter telescope at the McDonald Observatory. The discussion then shifts back to the Democratic primary debate on CBS, which suffered from low ratings due to its Saturday night time slot. The hosts suggest the timing was a deliberate attempt to minimize viewership for the "three duds" on stage.
