742: A.Q. in the Maghrim

NASA Kepler 452b Discovery and Earth 2.0

NASA announces the discovery of Kepler 452b, described as "Earth's closest cousin." The hosts dismiss the story as "bullcrap" and a "meme," questioning how a telescope can see a planet 1,400 light years away when it couldn't provide clear images of Pluto. They suggest NASA stories are often used to distract from the launch of NRO spy satellites.
