For those who miss Simon, I've heard he now has 300 channels now and is doing them instead.

Eric is really good, if we can’t have Simon this guy does a fantastic job with his own style which is very important
Fun fact ... On Google Earth there is a Mars setting, also a flight option. Switch to Mars and enter flight mode, and you can fly around Olympus Mons and in the calderas. It's a little tricky though, as I can barely get enough elevation to summit it.
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!
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.
I for one am thinking Eric is doing a great job.
I would love to have a video about the canyon! This is fascinating stuff!
I heard that while this mountain is super tall, if you were to hypothetically be able to walk up it you wouldn’t even realize you were ascending anything because it’s so extremely gradual
Mars Attacks is the best. My Favorite Martian was a goofy sit com (which I loved to watch back then)
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 😊
this man has suspiciously black hair compared to his beard.
oh, the actual mountain and not the martian battleship that sacked Geneva. Okay, I'm down.
I'm an astronomer but never particularly cared about Mars until I read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy. I've been obsessed since... anyway great video!! Looking forward to more about Valles Marineris & the moons 👀
The dutch scientifuc community has concluded that its poles mainly consist of vodka...
Two impact craters on Olympus Mons have been assigned provisional names by the International Astronomical Union: the 15.6-kilometre-diameter (9.7 mi) Karzok crater and the 10.4-kilometre-diameter (6.5 mi) Pangboche crater.
18:38 I miss the "Speculation Alert" Star Trek alarm, Eric.
There's no way that man would know what Mars looks like when we didn't even space travel let alone cars in his time. Must be an alien or time traveler
You realize almost all the rovers are in the ocean bed of Mars? Only curiosity landed on land, They say they can't send rovers to the south of Mars for some reason. Check it out on a map ; the rovers all landed on an old ocean floor and we haven't even seen the land. Curiosity was on the rim of Gale crater (land).
