This week on Footnotes: the universe’s star-crossed lovers Mars and Phobos deal with the homewrecking Curiosity rover. Someone’s gonna get hurt.
Also, we revisit the classic cartoon Inspector Gadget, whose titular character is packed with gadgets and ineptitude. And unfortunately he has a message for the kids.
