It was well made and solid quality but I think it was targeted at a school science student or something, I got tired of it as it was covering fairly basic stuff I thought.

For 68 year old students I thought it was very very good!

it is still one of the best and easiest explanations of our solar sojourn i have ever seen
i particularly liked her explanations of why we get ice ages every 60 odd thousand years as i have often wondered

???? Did I miss something. I just saw a lot of basic stuff about seasons and tides. Oh, and a non-explanation of the Corieolis effect.

BTW Ice Ages are spaced at about 100,000 year intervals at the moment.

I was expecting this to be another cringeworthy documentary like so many have been lately...

It wasn't!

I'm enjoying it!

Thanks for the advisory!

I enjoyed it and look forward to the other episodes.

BTW, is it just me, or are female scientists sexy?
