This month we're learning about different types of volcanos, lava rocks, and geological features! The entire Bad Astra team flies to Bend, Oregon to explore the Cascade Volcano range and interview Professor of Geology, Hal Wershow. Bad Astra goes hiking! How much science will Astra make the team learn? Will Eris find love? What does lava taste like?
Astra just wants to be a geology tour guide, Neutrino’s along for the adventure, Nova is willing to hold the camera if they go on her side quests, Eris is a Gremlin, and Professor Hal Wershow agrees to answer the important questions about rocks.
