In entertainment news this week we discuss the Top Gun and Tenet trailers.  A few spoiler free thoughts on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. LifeLabs is hacked for 15 million users data and the Navy bans Tic Tok.  In space news this week, Amazon fails to file for paperwork for their satelite network, Starliner from Boeing fails to dock with the International Space Station, and the U.S. officially creates the Space Force as a department of the Air Force.  Ken also gives his review of the documentary AI Makes it Easier to Kill Us All. Finally we congratulate the latest Miss America who won her crown through science.
