About this episode
They are the most neglected planets in our solar system, but that status may be changing. Planetary scientist Elizabeth “Zibi” Turtle celebrates NASA’s announcement that it will study a mission to Uranus or Neptune. Emily Lakdawalla has the latest progress report for Curiosity, rolling across Mars. Bill Nye had a blast reading “The Martian.” Someone will win the Extronaut game in the new What’s Up space trivia contest.
