CES Recap, Marvel problems, and Virgin Galactic spaceships

In entertainment news this week we discuss the problems at Marvel with one of their shows being delayed indefinitely and Dr Strange losing their director due to creative differences.  Seth MacFarlane is leaving Fox for NBCU after 21 years on the network. In tech news we discuss the Virgin Galactic spaceship and their future plans for commercializing space travel. This last week we followed everything happening at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and we discuss some of the best and oddest tech coming out of the convention.
