Looking forward to this programme on Friday 17th June 9pm BBC 2.

Brian Cox not everyone's cup of tea but I enjoy his programmes and anything that promotes astronomy and space travel in the British television mainstream  gets my vote 😊👍

Thanks for the heads up. Big fan of Brian Cox: love how he has made Physics accessible to a whole new generation. I'm off to see him on his UK tour in October in Glasgow.

Being one of those who had their name sent to Mars on Perseverence I found the programme interesting on catch up later in the evening.

Although very early this morning I woke up on the couch stiff all over after conking out around 70 minutes in and had to watch the remainder today... 🙄

It was  an excellent programme indeed and good to see the behind the scenes access and the screens above showing when JPL was communicating with various equipment up in space and did see JWST on there too 😊

Right at the end though, he just couldn't keep away from the top  of a mountain!

I was literally close to tears at one point, some pretty deep stuff when you think about it. Science is truly an amazing  hobby to be involved in.

I watched the show last night. Lorna asked me "How the hell do you find these shows?". We watched it together and REALLY enjoyed it.

Lorna now thinks she is a Martian. Which is not outside the realm of possibility.

I still think she is from Venus.

Honestly, I'm excited about the mission to Mars to retrieve the core samples.
