24. 1:11Mars but I bet you'd already worked that
25. 1:13out hadn't
26. 1:15[Music]

28. 1:20robotic missions to explore Mars soon
29. 1:23there'll be
30. 1:25more some are in orbit like Mars Express
31. 1:28and some have landed on the surface like
32. 1:30a NASA rover called
33. 1:33curiosity they've revealed a lot of
34. 1:35Mars's
35. 1:39Secrets H I cannot see any towns or
36. 1:43cities but what a fantastic
37. 1:47landscape this planet is made from Rock
38. 1:50like Earth Earth's surface has lots of
39. 1:53colors green blue white brown but this
40. 1:57planet it's mostly shades of red luckily
41. 2:00red is my favorite color other than
42. 2:02green of
43. 2:06course there are mountains and valleys
44. 2:09and dust being moved by the
45. 2:12wind let's land and
46. 2:18explore but first I have to fix my
47. 2:23spaceship oh
48. 2:26[Music]
49. 2:28[Applause]
50. 2:29[Music]
51. 2:36that scared me this is curiosity the
52. 2:40Rover I told you about before the name
53. 2:43really suits
54. 2:46her I'll just reattach this loose wire
55. 2:49and my Galactic navigation system is
56. 2:54fixed Mars is a close neighbor of the
57. 2:57earth considering how big the solar
58. 2:59system is
59. 3:00it orbits the sun just like the earth
60. 3:02and the other
61. 3:08planets did you know that Mars is
62. 3:11covered in a layer of Rusty dust that
63. 3:14gives the planet its lovely red
64. 3:16[Music]
65. 3:20color if you ever visit you simply must
66. 3:23go to Olympus Mons it's the tallest
67. 3:25volcano in the solar
68. 3:28system nearly three times higher than
69. 3:31Earth's Mount
70. 3:35Everest wow from up here I can see valid
71. 3:40marineris a gigantic Canyon that would
72. 3:42stretch from Spain to
73. 3:46Finland and I can see that Mars has lots
74. 3:49of dry River
75. 3:52beds where water must have once flowed a
76. 3:56long time ago
77. 4:00I can't see any rivers today only ice in
78. 4:03a few
79. 4:07[Music]
80. 4:09places do you think that alien creatures
81. 4:12have ever lived or are living on
82. 4:16Mars well that's another story which
83. 4:19will save for another
84. 4:23time so we've seen that Mars has a rocky
85. 4:27surface with really fascinating features
86. 4:31it has mountains and
87. 4:34valleys there are also Dry River beds
88. 4:37there must have been lots of water here
89. 4:38in the
90. 4:40past it even has Polar Ice cups and two
91. 4:44small
92. 4:47moons and there are robots exploring
93. 4:50Mars
