I was actually listening and caught a quip that lead me to learn something about the Mars Climate orbiter. See if you can find it! I also had a "ahhhHHHhhhhhhhh!" moment when RJN talked about the Belt of Venus. All these years I thought it was a variety of things in addition to being something pretty. Thanks for posting this series. TURTLES!
