Hello, welcome along. It is a brand new episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly podcast. Thank you so much for having a listen. My name is Dan. This is pretty much the only show in the whole world that tries to uncover all the incredible secrets that are lurking around the universe. We've got a huge guest on this week. We're talking to Ben Fogel. Now, Ben is just

an incredible adventurer and an explorer. He's climbed Mount Everest, did that in six weeks.

He's road across the Atlantic. Is the word road? I'm going to go with road. He's road or

roan across the Atlantic. Anyway, he got over the Atlantic on a boat.

He was on powering it, that kind of stuff. Also, he completed the Marathon de Saba, which is a six-day

marathon across an ultramarathon across the Sahara Desert. It's an incredibly long way across one of

the hottest places on the planet.

Ben has completed it, and he'll be on the show later on to talk about his latest plan to try and save the world.

We'll also learn about one of the most deadly plants on the planet, and we'll get a good look at the surface of the sun.

That's all on the way. I've got some of your questions as well. Today they're about cheaters and the cold.

We'll do them after we catch up with Professor Pulsar and get a lesson at the smartest school outside of the solar system.

Deep Space High, destination Mars.

Jump into your way home and travel to Deep Space High.

The school is space, but hurry because lessons are about to begin.

Whoa!

Baby!

Now, as we've been finding out, Earth scientists have some very exciting plans to send robots to Mars.

And astronauts, well, later on.

Yes, that's right. Robots will go first.

Designing robots for Mars is a big job.

So today I want us to think about some of the things that robot designers will need to take into account.

Like what colour to paint it?
