0:00.0 | Hey, Smarty Pants and Smarty Families, trusty narrator here with a must-listen podcast I Know Your Love. |
0:07.0 | It's a show called Steam Daydream, made by our friends at National Children's Museum in Washington, D.C. |
0:13.8 | In the new season of their show, they investigate everyday mysteries like why bubbles around and where trash goes |
0:21.0 | to uncover the science, technology, engineering, art and math that explains the world around us. |
0:27.9 | Every episode is 20 minutes or less and features real life experts and curious kids like you. |
0:34.6 | You can follow the fun by searching Steam Daydream with National Children's Museum wherever you listen to podcasts. |
0:44.2 | Okay, Smarty Pants, buckle up because we're going to Mars. |
0:48.6 | Now, you're going to have to use your imagination to picture some of the things you'll hear us talking about like outer space, |
0:54.1 | rocket thrusters and spaceships. And if you want more, stick around until the end. |
0:59.5 | I'll let you know how you can actually see all of the cool things that are happening. |
1:06.1 | Sun glasses on space scouts? Time to board our transport and head back to Earth. It's been a long day. |

1:18.8 | The years, however, are long. 687 Earth days. |
1:23.3 | I'm afraid I have to get the space scouts home, Sam. But you could come back with us. |
1:29.3 | Woohoo! Wait, where are you going? |
1:31.8 | I'm jumping for joy. Only on Mars I can jump three times as high. Be right back. |
1:38.4 | It's true. Gravity, the universal force that gives us weight and keeps us on the ground, |
1:43.1 | is directly related to a planet's size and mass. Because Mars is so small, the surface gravity here |
1:49.2 | is only about 38% of Earth. So if I weigh 100 pounds on Earth, I only weigh 38 pounds on Mars? Cool! |
2:00.1 | Certainly fun, but if people come to Mars for extended stays like to live here, the gravity may |
2:06.1 | actually affect us negatively. You see, humans have evolved with the Earth's gravitational pull. |
2:11.3 | So the dramatic change may affect our bones, our eyes, our hearts, even our blood. We'll have to |
