#227 - WeMartians - Mars Month 2

Jake from WeMartians Podcast joins Matt to co-host part 2 of March's Mars Month. We chat about all things 2021 Mars Arrivals and how they will affect our understanding of the Red Planet.

“We are all … children of this universe. Not just Earth, or Mars, or this system, but the whole grand fireworks. And if we are interested in Mars at all, it is only because we wonder over our past and worry terribly about our possible future.”
Ray Bradbury, Mars and the Mind of Man, 1973
