In this sizzling conclusion of a two-parter with Dr. Jennifer Buz, we addresss: how to landscape Mars, the moral quandary of if we should use it as a doomsday cabin, what the hell Mars being in retrograde means and tons of etymology about boobs, to be honest. 

Thank you so much for making this podcast possible! I'm posting this from between set-ups shooting at the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan, and tomorrow I head to Chicago to interview a few ologists. 

I hope you're napping in a hammock and seeing tons of peenie wallies. 

Stay tuned for trains, epidemiology, snails, toads, beauty and more this month. 

Many high fives from your very tired step-brother's girlfriend's rat

Areology (MARS) Part 2 with Jennifer Buz

Last week we got a big thicc primer on ol' Mars, that dusty desert doomsday cabin millions of miles away. This week, Alie continues the conversation with areologist Dr. Jennifer Buz and asks your Patreon questions about whether we could landscape Mars to look like a golf course, what a water balloon fight on Mars would be like, and if people in Jennifer's lab quote science fiction.

I loved all the info in these 2 episodes. Sorry but I do have a hard time jiving her voice/accent with what she does. That’s probably because I’ve never heard a portrayal of a scientist on tv or in the movies that sounded like her. Someone should fix that. Thanks!

Thank you again for turning a question I though was kinda dumb (almost deleted) into truly amazing science content!! Asking smart people dumb questions has shown me how fluid dynamics would work on a different planet. (Exactly the same just in a tougher neighborhood)

There’s no way for me to be certain, considering just the massive number of podcast, but out of all of the podcast I listen to this one has mentioned “Super Soakers” the most. Is there an “Ologie” about pressure vessels or inventing? (Also, I kinda feel like they owe you a check.)

I totally agree with the conclusion the effort to save the human race is at home here and not on Mars. And I got the impression you're afraid of breaking your microphone with laughing. I wonder how you manage to move two rooms away so fast, but it gives it a nice spatial soundeffect.
