Afraid of heights? This is not the job for you | SciTech Now

As opposed to last week's less-then-professional-sounding narrator, this week's video host sounds like he belongs on local television reading the news or interviewing a woman who lost her cat.

He does, however, tell an interesting story of people climbing St Louis's Gateway Arch - one of my favorite places in the world, honestly - to figure out what was causing some staining on the underside of the Arch. One concern was the possibility of damage or corrosion on the surface of the arch.

Luckily, the exploration found that the stains are superficial...and they decided not to clean the Arch - as of the time of this video in 2016.
