Since, as I said at the beginning of this episode, this is a “30s-and-40s throwback pulp Mars”, then yes it also has canals. However, these ones are canopied over to prevent evaporation and keep out dust and sand. And this particular one, at least, is definitely far too small for Schiaparelli ever to have spotted it with his trusty telescope!

Hey thanks for the birthday shoutout!
These Martian landscapes are gorgeous. Curiosity’s got nothin’ on Space Kid!
Curiosity just hasn’t got to the scenic areas yet… 😛
