MARS The Red Planet Produced By: Mission Specialist/Historian: Chris Symeonides Meteorologist: Ellie Streiffer Geologist: Kristen Guidry Journalist/Reporter: Philip Broderick

The Redbrier Hotel Sister Hotel of the Greenbrier in Virginia, USA, Earth The only 5 star hotel on the planet Mars Free Earthlink cable, golf course, monorail, pools, tennis courts, and an observatory

Guess What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Pets are allowed our hotel is in a dome so we have swimming pool, plants and oxygen! Golf courses and tennis courts galore.

Travel Information Call your airlines for ticket information. Hotel cost: Suites-$160/night. Regular room-around $100 depending on size, view, and convenience of the room Tours: $5 for the kids and $7 for the adults Tours go to the nearby mountains and landforms Call us for current information on specials and sales information

Travel Info(Cont.) Be sure to pack skis and warm clothes for our simulated ski mountain Pack plenty of warm clothes if you are planning on taking an outside tour Our hotel and weather dome are climate controlled, so bring swimsuits and light clothing We rent out sports equipment and oxygen suits

Info about Mars Daily Weather: -82°C to 0°C, you should call us for the weather since the weather varies at different times of the year and there are many dust storms Atmosphere: very thin and composed mostly of Carbon Dioxide-you need oxygen suits. Air pressure is 100th of the Earth’s.

Mars information (continued) Geography: in the north, the land is very worn and resurfaced by lava flows and sediment. In the south, it is covered with craters to saturation. At different times of the year, the poles shrink and grow because of the tilt of the axis. The surface is entirely rock and the soil is red because of the rust. Size: diameter is 6785 km-about half of Earth’s

The Arts on Mars There have been many movies about Mars, with Mars being the setting. Most of these involve the fictional “Martians.” The Golden Age of these movies was in the 50’s, when Americans were concerned with nuclear war and cheesy science fiction movies were made en masse. There has been music influence and inspired by the beauty and mysticism of Mars. NASA has sponsored a soundtrack of such music.

Current Events and Missions Mars ‘98 is currently underway. The Martian Polar Lander has already been launched, and with it two probes which will slam into the surface and search for water. The Martian Climate Orbiter will circle Mars in search of water. Visit our Mars Mission Museum: –We’ll show you how past earthlings explored Mars before it was colonized –we have the Pathfinder which ran out of power on Mars

Mars Missions The Voyager mission was the first spacecraft on Mars. It gave us some of the first up close photos of Mars. The Mars Pathfinder mission landed on Mars in the summer of It brought back to NASA and the world some amazing photos of Mars, and conducted tests of its soil. The Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) is the most recent spacecraft to find information on Mars. It is trying to map the Martian surface, and conduct tests on the structure and composition of the surface.
