Now that we’ve been to the moon, join us for Mission to Mars! This week we will learn all about the red planet, and use what people before us have discovered to investigate ways that humans could survive on Mars. We’ll head inside StarLab, our portable planetarium, to take a closer look at our neighboring planet, find out what it would take to grow plants there, and construct our own Mars habitat. This will be an adventure to remember!
