About this episode
Mars has fascinated humans for centuries — but why are scientists and billionaires so determined to get there?
In this week’s From The Vault episode, we revisit the Squiz Kids Shortcut to Mars and explore the race to send humans to the Red Planet.
Discover how far away Mars really is, why it looks red in the night sky, and what makes it strangely similar to Earth despite freezing temperatures and giant dust storms.
It’s a story about exploration, curiosity and one enormous question: could the first person to walk on Mars already be sitting in a classroom somewhere on Earth? 🚀🔴
