The world is going to the dogs, and so is Mars. NASA has unveiled their new robots that have been built in the form of a dog. The robotic dog adventurers will be able to move freely over the terrain in Mars, climbing hills and going in to hole. And unlike the previous Mars Rover, if they fall over they can get back up and carry on. We also talk about the amount of exercise your furry dog need in this incredible heat this summer.
The Summer Special is hosted by Roman Travers, produced by John Budge and the technical editor is Geoff Rooke
