Why are aliens called 'little green men'? and more... (Listener Q&A)

YOU ASKED FOR IT: Justin and Jack are taking your questions! What's on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Adelaide? What does the International Space Station smell like? And why are aliens called little green men? Tangents include: chess boxing, Pokémon, bodyhacking, Gänsefleisch, fairies & Jennifer Coolidge. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY: Mates in Space is made on Kaurna Country, never ceded. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We also pay respect to other First Nation peoples. ABOUT US: Mates in Space is a podcast about how we’re going to get to space without taking all of Earth’s bulls**t up with us! Each week, your hosts Jack and Justin will tell a different space story, in preparation for Australia’s exciting new future among the stars. It’s a bit nerdy, a bit sciency, and a lot of fun. Mates in Space is now an independent podcast! Produced by Jack Eaton and Justin McArthur; hosted at P. Zinner & Co. For more info, check out our website at
