We’re in the quadruple digits, y’all, and we’re celebrating! But first we’ll dive into the news with an exciting development on Mars — how NASA’s Perseverance space rover is generating oxygen on the Red Planet. And a new climate change report card shows that we’ve averted the worst-case scenarios, but there’s still a long way to go. Plus, we’re marking this special episode with a new game of Would You Rather featuring a special (and beloved) guest!

Here’s everything we talked about:

• • “Perseverance Mars rover wraps up MOXIE oxygen-making experiment” from Space

• • “FAA Orders SpaceX to Take Dozens of Steps Before Future Starship Flights” from The Wall Street Journal

• • “Africa proposes global carbon taxes to fight climate change” from BBC News
