Have you heard the story of the twin sisters who explored the surface of Mars? They were NASA's twin rovers, Spirit and Opportunity (or Oppy for short). The two sisters traveled to Mars in 2003 and explored the vast planet. Although Oppy's mission was only meant to last 90 days, she explored for over 15 years overcoming obstacles with creative solutions. When Oppy's right front wheel got repeatedly stuck in the sand, she drove backwards! The sisters showed the world just how much two small rovers can do right up until the end of their missions.

There's Nothing to Do on Mars

Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 0316069221
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
When Davey Martin's family moves to Mars, he discovers that there's nothing to do--at least until he and his robot dog Polaris learn to seize the spirit of adventure. It's not until they've zipped around the planet on his flying scooter--climbing Martian "trees," digging up "fossils," dancing in Martian rain dances--that they discover a treasure that finally piques Davey's interest--a source of water on the red planet! Chris Gall's new picture book plays on the themes (and ironies) of a complaint parents have heard from their children a thousand times: "There's nothing to do!" The book also offers a deeper lesson to our stationary, convenience-driven society: If you're creative and look carefully, you'll be amazed at what you find!
