Why Am I Such a SpaceX Hater (or Fanboy)?

You should do an episode in front of a green screen, with a similar forest back drops, and in the middle of the episode, the forest turns upside down.
Hah, but then we'd need to actually learn how to use a green screen. :-)
Any idea how much power that Mars L1 artificial magnetosphere satellite would consume?
No idea, it's actually our next episode, but I don't discuss power for that exact satellite.
Your Mars answer was undoubtedly simplified for time constraints, but your regolith answer was perhaps a bit too shortened. I believe you are a supporter of Joe Scott? Have you watched his 5 Reasons NOT to go to Mars piece? I was personally unaware of the problems with the Mars regolith until Joe enlightened me.
Which part about the regolith, that it has perchlorates in it? From what I understand, you can just wash them out with water.
Fraser, ISS Reason #2. Please elaborate further. Ok, the parts are getting old and maintenance is becoming time consuming. But, are you suggesting that WHATEVER we put up in space will be worn out and scrapped every 25 years or so? If so, then the cost of the space program is a LOT higher than my wildest dreams!
Right now the astronauts have to do constant maintenance on the ISS to keep all its components running. It doesn't have modern computers systems, etc. Eventually, we'll need to retire it.
