Our Patreon community is growing and we couldn't be more excited! As we grow, we're planning to expand into more content with Astrum Answers, stay tuned and don't forget to sign up to be part of these changes! bit.ly/4aiJZNF

Totally agree! I’m Professor of Microbiology at the University of Manchester with a passing interest in astrobiology and if life did emerge and it’s still there then deep surface lithophiles would be my bet. So exciting
-
The thing that got me most surprise in this video is the fact that Astrum actually pronounce "Jezero" correctly . My respect sir as I know how hard is this to pronounce for an non native speaker. And from this I can see that he actually resect the thing he is presenting .
-
When I first heard you say, "Astrum Answers," I heard, 'Astromancer,' and I thought, "Huh, this channel took a weird turn."
-
I love watching your channel. The calm collected voice helps with absorbing the information. A lot of channels are very enthusiastic which I understand as they love the topics but can be distracting. By the way I am certain your read about the absolutly mind blowing discovery of dark oxygen? Oxygen created by rocks on the bottom of the sea without photosynthesis. That opens up a whole new way of biospheres with oxygen!
-
I'd say that Mars still has a lot of its original water quota. This is because as the atmosphere thinned out, most of it would have frozen and subsequently covered over with particles of regolith. There is seemingly a LOT of ice just under the surface, even in near-equatorial regions!
-
I’ve been watching your show since close to the beginning and it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come. Thank you for continuing to give us this great content.
-
I first read the title as “we’ve been looking for Mars in the wrong place” and I’m like what the hell who let this happen? Was it Terry?
-
Mars does still have local magnetic fields and has been shown to still be slightly more volcanically active than had since been thought.
-
Thank you for great content and presentation. I agree with your hypothesis, especially since "retreating" deeper and deeper along lava vents seems completely viable.
-
On Earth, in each cubic meter of air there are between 860,000 and 11 million bacteria. I understand the logic of looking for life in the most likely places on Mars, but there's also something to be said for searching in the easiest places. Have we ever sniffed the Martian atmosphere for bacteria?
-
Whenever i can't find something I'll stop looking for it and then it shows up out of nowhere.

“Mars Rover, Mars Rover, send life signs right over”
-
I wonder if the new deep plasma drills would be usable on mars. They're still in development with the goal of being able to drill 10km deep holes for "free geothermal". It would still be a lot of equipment but I'd think using that tech would make it possible to drill a good distance on mars.
-
Alex, I’m seeing this at 1.99 million subs. Wow! I remember I subbed when you only had a couple thousand. I prayed for your success and still continue to do so. Incredible, I’m so happy for you!
-
The Lowest elevation point on Mars is the Hellas Crater. Seem to me like that would have been the last place on Mars to have water on the surface. It would have had water for the longest period of time. Maybe we should look there.
-
This is seriously something I’ve been wondering for years! Are there any caves? Caverns?
-
About time someone brought this up. I have been waiting for this.
-
20yrs of Martian rocks, enough, Martian surface is dead, You see the white from the orbiter its water-ice maybe a good starting point to find Extremophiles.

Thanks for always making these documentarys, it's perfect to listen and fall asleep too😂
