ORly Radio Show 71 - Fox GOP Primary Debate 1, Part 2 - Top Ten

Welcome to ORly Radio Show 71 for Friday August 7th, 2015 - where we dismantle the current events for your edutainment through mostly rational conversations that make you go ‘Oh Really’! I’m your host Andy Cowen with my usual suspects, Mike and David!

Errata From Last Week: We make mistakes. Please, if you find one, pause the podcast, and send us a note. orlyradiopodcast@gmail.com or phone it in 470-222-6759  

This week's show(s) is/are all about the Fox News GOP/Republican Primary Debate that was broadcast in a very constrained format from one of their affiliates in Ohio and then put behind a pay wall. Show 71, we MST3K all over the top 10 contenders and have a bit of fun with a drinking game throughout. We apologize if that offends you or if you find this boring. We will get back to a regular program with news and events in a more sober fashion next week. IN the mean time, enjoy the many hours of our broadcast, where we all get very tired by the end, which was 6 full hours after we began on Friday at 9:30pm.

The Good:

1. The government of Sri Lanka announced this week that Google’s Project Loon will provide "affordable high-speed" internet coverage for the entire country, beamed from balloons floating in the atmosphere. Neither the Sri Lankan government or Google has set a concrete timetable, but foreign minister Mangala Samaraweera made mention of the country being covered in “a few months.” The country of Sri Lanka covers 24,954 square miles, with a population a little more than 22 million. Loon’s latest iteration is called the Nighthawk, a collaboration between the Loon team and aerospace designer Raven Aerostar. The Nighthawks will be outfitted with LTE antennas to send data to mobile phones, and capable of transmission from balloon to balloon and to telecommunication stations on the ground. The balloons are slated to stay in the air for 100 days at a time. - http://www.popsci.com/google-set-provide-entire-country-wi-fi

2. Mark Zuckerberg announced the completion of Aquila, Facebook’s first full-scale aircraft designed to deliver wireless internet with lasers, as a part of their project with Internet.org.

The Bad:
