- This episode is a remastered and improved version of one of the first stories ever released on the podcast. This new version includes updated information, as well as very recent results published in July 2026 from MAVEN, the spacecraft that spent more than 11 years studying Mars and the history of its atmosphere. I also talk about AstroRad, a new device tested in deep space that could help protect astronauts from some forms of space radiation.
As usual with our space cruises, I take you to Mars and back. To entertain you along the journey, I tell you about orbits, space travel, spacecraft, and some of the difficulties of manned missions, including microgravity, radiation, and the challenges of spending months in space. We also explore the history of Mars, its climate, geology, and environment, and finally the idea of terraforming the planet one day in the distant future—and what such an enormous project would actually involve.

Born from King Philip II of Macedon and Olympias of Epirus, educated by Aristotle, Alexander takes the lead of the League of Corinth, a coalition of Greek states. He leads his army into the conquest of the greatest empire of the time: the empire of the Achaemenids. He ends up conquering it entirely, defeating Darius III at the decisive battles of Issus and Gaugamela, and founding an empire that stretches from Greece to India, and Central Asia to Egypt. I will tell you what we know of the man himself too, and how his achievements changed the world.

• Machu Picchu, built as a retreat for Inca emperors 50 miles from their capital, Cusco, and largely forgotten by the outside world for more than 300 years.
• Meroë, the capital of the Kingdom of Kush, along with a brief history of Nubia and its relations with Egypt in antiquity. Before Meroë became the capital, Nubian kings from Kush founded Egypt’s Twenty-Fifth Dynasty, and during the first millennium BC, they covered Nubia with pyramids.
• Mohenjo-daro, a large and enigmatic city from the third millennium BC, built by the Indus Valley Civilization and later declining along with it.

For tonight, we continue with elements 30 to 118, including zinc, arsenic, rhodium, silver, tungsten, platinum, gold, mercury, lead, uranium and plutonium.
