Every superhero
39:18
now has a movie about them? Hollywood, Dennis, has made dozens of superhero movies, but somehow a real superhero that I found, a bloke called Robert Smalls, still doesn't have one.
39:31
Here's a story.
39:33
Smalls was born into slavery in 1839 in America.
39:38
He stole a Confederate ship, Confederates were the South.
39:42
He stole one of their ships in 1862.
39:45
He disguised himself as its captain, and sailed past Confederate checkpoints using hand signals that he'd learnt watching Confederate soldiers.
44:13
So between meals it had sunbaked? Pretty
3:04
Yeah.
3:04
Uh, he stole one of their ships in 1862.
3:07
He disguised himself as its captain and sailed past Confederate checkpoints using hand signals that he'd learnt watching Confederate soldiers.
3:17
He rescued his family and other slaves, then escaped North over Union lines, who were fighting against slavery.
3:24
Union were the North.
3:25
Um, so because of his knowledge of how the Confederate Army were operating in the South, he served the Union Army as a military advisor.
3:33
After the war, he returned to the South and bought his former enslaver's home.
7:34
So between meals it'd sunbathe?

It, it has the, the hottest average temperature of 460 degrees centigrade.

That's because it's got a very thick atmosphere that holds the, um, the temperature in, Arthur.
51:17
Mercury gets very, very hot on one side, but unfortunately, when it spins around to night, it gets incredibly cold, because it has virtually no atmosphere.
51:25
So if you average the two of them, it, it then sort of equates to not being the, on average, hottest planet.
