FastForward Radio
Sunday night Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon covered the future. They talked about the latest life extension news, how the $2,500 car will affect our prices at the pump, MRI mind reading, and whether a pill will reduce our need for sleep.
It wasn't all serious news though. They also talked about the new Terminator television show, "The Sarah Connor Chronicles." Don't miss it!

The topics:
- LSU won the National Championship!
- Adding hours to the day. Can we do without sleep?
- The $2,500 car:
...and why this means we must push forward with alternative energy like flex fuels (methanol, ethanol), biodiesel etc. We got news today of another ethanol breakthrough.
- BIG NEWS! Sirtris has completed their human trials of a life extension drug with positive results. They are hopeful that this drug can be brought to the market by 2012. If so, then Stephen's 2004 prediction that the first generation of life extension drugs would arrive by 2014 will be correct.
- MRI mind reading.
- We got into a discussion of the new Terminator television series: Sarah Connor Chronicles.
- Stephen thought the movie "Water Horse" was dull. He grudgingly admitted that the CGI was good, and his kids enjoyed it. So did many critics.
- But Stephen highly recommended the novel The Pillars of the Earth.
Our front bumper is a sample of Marginal Prophets' "The Difficult Song."
Our exit music this week is from Codaphonics. The song is "Sun Vs. Moon."
