Space, China, Exploration, and Battlestar Galactica Debates! In this episode, we get into it all. It's a fun, laid-back discussion with Benjamin, who runs one, if not the best, science and space shows on YouTube or anywhere. I highly recommend checking it out. Remember to comment and vote in. We need to settle whether Baltar was a villain!









"Benjamin Higginbotham, Creator and Executive Producer 






Ben created TMRO with his wife, Cariann, in 2008 after hosting a popular technology podcast for several years. His objective? Get humanity excited about exploring the cosmos!

When Ben moved to California for an aerospace job, TMRO came with him. So did Cariann, thankfully. In 2016, they moved the show to a bona-fide production studio.

A huge Disney nerd, Ben goes out of his way to visit Disney parks whenever time allows. He and Cariann actually got married at Walt Disney World in 2001. Recently, Ben helped produce the second largest webcast ever made." Taken from Website



About TMRO
"TMRO (pronounced tomorrow, formerly known as Spacevidcast), is a network of live and on-demand HD webcasts about technology, science, space, and human society. TMRO was established as Spacevidcast in 2008 by husband and wife team Benjamin and Cariann Higginbotham.

TMRO's stated goal is



“
...to get the planet excited about living among the stars.
”



In contrast to most space-related podcasts, TMRO is produced independently and is not associated with any governmental or private organization, which sets it apart from other shows like NASA Edge or Hubblecast.[1][2] In 2011 the show hosts were hired by SpaceX, however there is no tie between SpaceX and TMRO.

In addition to traditional episodes, TMRO also offers some audio and text content as well as content provided through the crowdfunding platform Patreon, including Google Hangouts and early access to TMRO After Dark. There is also a TMRO subreddit for viewers to discuss space and show topics. The program was awarded the Best Presentation of Space award during NewSpace 2010" Source Wiki
