Summary
Our survey of the solar system in anticipation of the next planetary science decadal survey continues with Mars, the big outer planets, and the smaller bodies that share the neighborhood. Three more great scientists share their looks ahead. Staying responsibly stuck at home is easier when you can look up at a gorgeous night sky. Bruce Betts is here to help with another fun edition of What’s Up and a Random Space Fact or two.

| 0:04.0 | That's this week on planetary radio. |
| 0:07.0 | Welcome, I'm a Kaplan of the Planetary Society, with more of the human adventure across our |
| 0:16.2 | solar system and beyond. |
| 0:18.8 | Last week we took up Mercury, Venus, and Earth's Moon. Now our look ahead takes us to Mars, the giant outer planets, |
