This episode of the GonnaGeek Show was record on July 27, 2026.
In this episode of the official GonnaGeek.com show, hosts Stephen, Chris, and SP reunite after a brief hiatus caused by Stephen’s high-tech camping trip. The trio dives deep into the recent aerospace milestones of SpaceX, specifically analyzing the Starship Heavy Booster 20 and Ship 40 test flight. SP provides a technical breakdown of the booster’s splashdown in the Gulf and the ship’s successful orbital insertion and surprise ‘soft’ splashdown near Australia, leading to a debate over whether the craft should be called a ‘boat’ or a ‘float.’ In gaming news, Chris highlights reports that the upcoming Fable reboot from Playground Games is ‘uncomfortably over budget’ and facing stiff competition from 2027’s heavy hitters like GTA 6. In tech news, a privacy lapse caused private Claude AI conversations to be indexed by Google, and there was a revelation regarding Windows’ Global Device Identifier (GDID) being used by the FBI to track hackers through VPNs. The show rounds out with a discussion on the state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the return of Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, and Ryan Gosling being cast as Ghost Rider.
