Customer Reviews
Gorgeous and educational
I’ve been following hirise on Twitter for quite a while, but didn’t know they have a podcast. I always assumed Mars geology was bland, but hirise shows that that’s far from the case. Tons of variety in the landscape there. This series walks the viewer through a few locations at a time, giving NASA’s best theories of how they formed.
