Alright, this one will take some explaining. As you'll hear at the top of this ep, the archival tool I use to pull episodes off the radio went down, meaning The Lunar Orbit 2023 Christmas Extravaganza has been lost to time....But, I didn't want to leave you with nothing during the holidays, so I've pulled the only previous Christmas episode I have saved, way back from when I first started the show on the radio - this is the 2020 Lunar Orbit Christmas Special.
It's a little rougher than my newer shows, but I still love it all the same - lots of Christmas spirt, and holiday energy. The ep is full of ambient music, coupled with some post-ish or out there covers of Christmas classic. I also have included a special broadcast from some of earths favorite astronauts wishing everyone on earth a Merry Christmas.
I can't tell you how sad I am to have lost the 2023 episode - but I hope this makes up for it! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and I will be back after the New Year with more new episodes!
