Transmission 01 - How to Not Die in Space: The Real Dangers of the Final Frontier

  • Summary

  • In our debut episode, Zack (your host) and TOD (his sardonic, protocol-obsessed companion) explore the very real dangers of the final frontier: vacuum exposure, cosmic radiation, rogue wrenches, microgravity meltdown, and the existential horror of becoming your own satellite.

    From real NASA incidents to sci-fi flubs, we break down how not to die in orbit, and what it actually takes to survive up here.

    TOD’s Episode Obsession: Emergency Protocols & Space Safety Drills... He’s laminated 47 checklists, renamed himself “TOD-911,” and now insists we run surprise decompression drills during mealtime.
