Dry soft sand is a nightmare to run on, yes. Hard wet sand where the tide's just gone out is great to run on.
Thank you for continuing even on vacation. It's become part of my zen and I am grateful to have every episode to unwind my day with
But haven't there been photographic evidence of plumes coming out of Enceladus?
2 years in zero gravity cruising past Mars, then further out a bit before falling in towards the Earth's orbit again. That is a bit on par with the early sailing mission around the Earth 500 years ago. Hopefully better survival chance than Magellan sailing...
I really like the glowing beard. I feel that a little theremin music would be a good accompaniment. I really appreciate the time you take, even when you are travelling, to keep us up to date with the fascinating world of space and its' weird and wonderful sciences. Thank you.
