I'd love to hear about the canyon, actually! As a space buff, I find it more fascinating than Olympus Mons, for some weird reason. Anyway, learned a lot in this video, like that tidbit about Vesta! And I agree that it makes sense that these mountains were once islands, but who's to say. Anyway, loved the video! Thank you, space cowboy!

I hope you can do deep dives into Hellas Planitia, which has the deepest point on Mars, as well as Ecchus Chasma, the (now extinct) gigantic waterfall, not to mention the Northern polar basin which is thinner than the rest of the crust elsewhere (this could've been the location of Mar's ancient ocean. Thanks, and looking forward to more related episodes 😊

Olympus Mons would be far more dramatic a volcano to the novice if it weren't so very broad. Its great breadth at its base creates a visual distortion, flattening the image. If it were more classically shaped and had steeper sides, it would be seemingly much more astonishing.

Simon made this so much better

A lot of people (including presenters on YT) don't know that the thought of there being "canals" was a translation error. (From what Schiaparelli wrote "canali", intended to mean "channel" as a wide body of water.) I do love me some Olympus Mons info.

I would love for you to write that script!

21:50 Or, to put it differently, climbing up Olympus Mons is literally like climbing into the heavens, into the realm of The Martian gods, just like climbing up Greece's Mount Olympus here on Earth. Edit: Also, due to the "Gentle" slopes on Olympus Mons, and the relative flatness of the area around you at the top of the mountain, is it appropriate to say that climbing Olympus Mons, and standing on its summit is like climbing up, and standing on the summit of Sunflower Mountain in Kansas?

He's working with us behind the scenes (editing and writing). He didn't want to keep presenting like he was, as it was adding a lot of stress onto his plate.

Valles Marineris!

Model the climb, it would be very boring. Due to Mars's closer horizon it would seem that you were on a flat plain. Only at the escarpment and caldera rim would you perceive any detectable topography. This would appear like a straight slowly declining slope extending horizon to horizon. All in all very Kansas like, boring climb.
