This is great stuff, BBM.

I recently changed career to physics teacher, and whilst I was fairly confident of my mechanics knowledge, the last time I studied astronomy, there were nine planets. It’s a massive topic and difficult to come to terms with. The first thing I did was check what the kids thought about space. They all thought we’d been to other planets and had been to the moon every few years

That's so cool! Best thing I read today:

"I'm safe on Mars. Perseverance will get you anywhere."
"I've come nearly 300 million miles, and I’m just getting started"

I kind of feel like that with my newly found sobriety

hooray Perseverance!
