How fast does our knowledge of other planets accumulate? Like, have we just gone crazy with information in the last 20, 30, forty years? Ye. We're about to enter a time when we don't have a lot of stuff going out now. And how long do it take for us to get something to mars? I'm so, like, the data transmission, i think it's like seven minutes one way. Ok, that seems really fast. But you can youan k away longer. Also, sure you can end it groundso yet not primit.
The Red Planet. A mysterious dusty orb millions of miles away. Our emergency escape bunker. Alie sits down with Dr. Jennifer Buz to talk about what Mars’s DEEEEAL is, why we send rovers there, good science fiction, so-so science fiction, double egg yolks, the poetry of the moon Phobos and some of the best science dreams perhaps ever recorded. Jennifer is maybe the chillest areologist on this planet and an absolute gem.
You're going to want to look at Dr. Jennifer Buz's website JNNFR.BZ
