From success with the Bairns to spicing things up in Goa and a plethora of tap-ins in between...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover began its long journey to Mars today by successfully launching from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a ULA Atlas V rocket.

NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover is heading to the Red Planet to search for signs of ancient life, collect samples for future return to Earth and help pave the way for human exploration.

NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter will make history's first attempt at powered flight on another planet next spring.

Joining us for this episode is a fanatic of a football club that was formed by a 19 year old school teacher back in 1883. For the next 45 minutes or so, we kick back with Caz who is a Bristol Rovers enthusiast. She's gonna be talking about her history of supporting the club, her favourite 'away day' destinations, her thoughts on England’s hopes for next summer’s European Championships, the multiple projects that she’s working on at the moment which include the ‘Homes of Football’ project, the ‘Gascast’ podcast and much more. To any Bristol City fans out there, beware... 

Getting a Mars rover built, tested and to the launch pad is a feat that requires the dedication of hundreds of team members.

NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover lives up to its name by enduring a series of tests to prepare for its journey to the Red Planet.

Space exploration has led to greater understanding of the planet Earth, our Solar System and our place in the universe, but there’s still much to be discovered. To help uncover some of the greatest cosmic mysteries, space agencies around the world are planning missions to explore neighbouring planets to map their history and search for possible signs of past extraterrestrial life. 

In this episode, David Blaney is joined by Professor Phil Bland to discuss mission preparations to the Moon and Mars, the systemic and environmental challenges faced by automated rockets and rovers, and what we are doing at Curtin University in this space.

• What we can learn from looking at meteorites [03:53]
• CubeSats: what they are and what they can do [06:36]
• Major challenges faced by exploring space [10:36]

NASA Curiosity Project Scientist Ashwin Vasavada guides this tour of the rover's view of the Martian surface.

Max and Mets are joined by Ollie Louch to pick over Ben Garners first three games in charge. 

Garners first game was a disappointing home loss against Wimbledon, followed by a decent point away at Fleetwood. The Gas then went down 3-0 in a very leggy performance at stadium MK on new years day. 

They go over the performances, JCHs increasing frustration, Jordi's chance to stake a claim to the number 1 jersey and if we have been punching above our weight up to now.

They then look at potential ins and outs now that the transfer window is open. Can Garner use his contacts to add new faces to a threadbare squad?

In this scout report episode, Max speaks to Bromley fan Alex to hear his take on Sunday's 1-1 draw, as well as looking ahead to the FA Cup 1st Round Replay on Tuesday night.

Alex speaks about playing on a 4G pitch, being top of the league, and scoring a ridiculously high amount of goals from set pieces.

Max also reflects on Rovers' time in the National League, and draws comparisons in Bromley's season to Darrell Clarke's 2014/15 playoff winning campaign.

As this is the beginning of In Close Quarters, it felt fitting to talk in-depth about the start of both Leahy and Rodman's careers, having both made their name playing non-league football, but with vastly different routes through the game. We also spoke about Rodman's business-centred family, his love for golf, and his time with an awful haircut. Luke Leahy reflected on his time as Falkirk, how his move to Rovers materialised and how he became a left-back.

On this week's GasCast Max and Mets are joined by Rovers' PA Lance Cook. They discuss the recent rumours of a second consortium, and a mystery leak behind the scenes at Rovers working against the club.

They talk about an impressive 1-0 win against MK Dons, which saw Rovers go from strength to strength and climb to 4th in the league. Lance is impressed with the solidarity of the back 5, whilst Max looks to Liam Sercombe to add more goals in the absence of Jonson Clarke-Harris.

They also talk about Lance's time as stadium announcer, how he's found stepping into Nick Day's shoes, and the challenges he's faced in the job.

The player spotlight this week is Tyler Smith, and the lads also look ahead to the Doncaster game with some well-deserved optimism.

In this week’s Scout Report, MK fan Josh joins Mets to preview the upcoming match between Bristol Rovers & MK Dons at the Memorial Stadium.

They discuss MKs poor run of form, their big tie against Liverpool in the cup and their injury woes. In contrast Rovers went unbeaten in September and sit in 8th in the table going into Saturdays tie.

Enjoy the show & UTG!

This week Max and Mets go over the last 3 games against Lincoln, Gillingham and Wimbledon.

They also talk about

• The passion in the squad
• Does Graham get the credit he deserves?
• The dark arts employed by the players
• The yellow third kit
• Will Ollie Clarke get back into the side?

Abu Ogogo is our player spotlight. Is he just a better Stuart Sinclair or does Max need a chin test?

On this week's GasCast, Max and Mets are joined by James Piercy from the Bristol Post.

They start with some in depth talk about the takeover story, which the Post broke a few weeks ago, and discuss when Rovers fans can expect to hear more news.

There's lot of talk about the new 3-5-2 formation which has seen Rovers pick up several impressive home wins and gained more support for manager Graham Coughlan. The talismanic Josh Hare, calming influence of Tony Craig, and scapegoat turned superstar Ed Upson are the main points of discussion in this weeks team review.

The lads also talk about Matty Taylor's greatly anticipated return to the Memorial Stadium, and Mets doesn't hold back on his thoughts on the Snake. 

The player in focus this week is Tom Nichols, and Max is fully back on the bandwagon.
