- Okay, official planning session for the First Earthie Kids to Climb a Mars Mountain Club!
- Yay!
- Let's review the checklist.
We'll need some supplies and a map.
Since no Earthie's ever climbed Mt.
Sharp, we need to make our own.
- And once we make our map, we'll need to plan a hiking route.
- Right!
We also need a team to hike with.
- [squeaking] - Oh, uh, Sunspot says he's always been a solo hiker.
He likes to hike alone, but he'll hike near us.
- What?
But, Sunspot, we're a team.
- [blows raspberry] - Okay, let's make that map.
- Guys, here's all we need to climb Mt.
Sharp.
[effort noises] Peasy-easy.
- [chuckles] Jet, that map is too simple.
Our Mt.
Sharp map has to show what things might be in our way.
- And what the ground is like we'll be hiking on.
It should also show us how steep the trail is.
I think we need... both: A topographical map!
- What on planet Earth is that?
- I'm glad you asked.
A topographical map shows you all kinds of things in nature in an area.
- It mainly shows how high things are, and how up and down the trails become--how steep.
- Hey, we're in luck!
Here's a topographical map of Mt.
Sharp.
- Wow!
That's so cool!
We'll be the first Earthie kids to climb a Mars mountain!
I'm so excited!
- Whoa, it says that it's more than 18,000 feet high.
That's really high.
- Sean, you're not getting cold hands about climbing Mt.
Sharp, are you?
- Cold feet, and yes, I am.
- But, Sean, climbing Mt.
Sharp has so many things you love.
Mars, hiking... - And maps!
- And popcorn!
- I do like all those things.
And going to space will help me in the future as I lead a team of astronauts to Mars.
[deep breath] Okay, I'm in.
- Great!
Okay.
Let's gather supplies.
- And start making our map.
- And pick a climbing buddy.
- And make a popcorn sculpture of our amazing accomplishments!
