I would really recommend that anyone considering reading the book NOT watch or listen to this show first. Leo starts out saying he wants to avoid spoilers, but ends up blurting out two major plot points, including the ending!

It's more interesting for people who have read the book, to know that all of the science is fact-based, and all of the number crunching is based on reality--from orbital transit times to efficiency of solar panels to growth rates of potatoes.
