From the ‘I had no idea’ department: NASA has quietly been producing a show called Irrelevant Astronomy, that focuses on on presenting recent astronomy science to the general public in a comedic, entertaining way. Apparently, the show premiered online in January 2008. The latest episode has George Takei and Ed Wasser (Mr. Morden from Babylon 5, the single coolest secondary character on any SF show, ever) with a ‘cameo’ by Mark Hamill. The premise has an evil robot talk show host who tries to take over the universe.
