Travel to Mars!

This is amazing!!!  There are a few things that you should keep in mind as you watch this. First, we know more about the topography of Mars than we do Earth (our ocean floors are poorly covered). Mars is ~1/2 the diameter of Earth, has ~1/3 of the gravity, liquid water is not stable on the surface (water on Mars acts like dry ice on Earth), and surface temperatures range from nearly 70 degrees F at the equator during the day to -155 F near the poles at night (average temperature is dang cold - about -65 or so). Make sure to click the little "HD" near the bottom and choose 2K.
