This musical mission to Mars will have young astronauts talking--and singing--about the science of space travel.
Explore the science behind a trip to Mars, from launch to landing on the Red Planet. Set to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell," this jaunty journey follows five adorable, bobble-headed astronauts as they learn how to bathe in zero gravity, grow veggies in space, and entertain themselves on the six-month trip. Even the design of the book defies gravity, as text and art float free on the page, encouraging readers to turn the book sideways and upside-down. An interactive, innovative approach to interstellar fun.

The rocket’s on the pad,
The rocket’s on the pad.
Hey-ho, to Mars we’ll go—
The rocket’s on the pad.
When you jump into the air, gravity pulls you back to the ground. Launching a rocket into space is hard because the Earth’s gravity is pulling the rocket in the opposite direction. The bigger and heavier the rocket, the more power you need to break free from the gravitational pull.
We launch with a roar,
We launch with a roar.
Hey-ho, to Mars we’ll go—
We launch with a ROOOOOAR!
To travel to Mars you will need a spaceship big enough to carry you and your crew, your food, your water, and all of your supplies. It’s easier to launch such a big spaceship from orbit than from Earth.
You could build the spaceship in space, carrying up one piece at a time on several trips. That’s how astronauts built the International Space Station that now orbits Earth. Once your Mars spaceship is assembled, you will travel to it in a smaller rocket.
