    Mars, Rovers and Theses

    Mars, Rovers and Theses

    This episode starts with some exciting news for Rose before looking at the Red planet. One of our nearest neighbours, and a target for space exploration, Rose and Elliott look at how unlike the Earth Mars really is. Is Mars really as you expect it to be? As well as some of the features of the Martian environment, the duo look back at the history of Mars exploration and the potential future for human colonisation.
    Note: this episode was due to be released last week but unfortunately family circumstances made that impossible.
