  13. So.. why are we not sending a probe to Hebes?? Seriously, your speculation here seems convincing enough to me – does NASA or do other Mars experts have anything to say about this? If there really is seasonal liquid water on the surface, it kiiiinda seems like we should check it out.

  14. Man this was great. You truly deserve more subs.

    Also I am not sure if it is intentional or just the way you talk but I greatly appreciate that you pronounce all of your words completely and there seems to be no slurring of words or words flowing into each other. This makes it more accessible to people who are not native speakers.

    Keep doing you man. I thoroughly enjoy your content.
