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.

Rose Waugh is an astrophysicist and science communicator, whilst Elliott Bruce is not. In each episode, we discuss different topics in the field and generally have fun. So regardless of whether you're a professor of astronomy, or you just think rockets are cool, join us as we take a trip through the Cosmos, and hope to make it back in one piece.
