I programmed a holographic Mars mission. Holosphere. What's this fascination with Mars?! Can you breathe its clean, crisp air? Roll in its tall, lush grass? Dip your toes in cool mud while eating a double hot fudge sundae?! Well, can you?! What is there to do? Gather rocks, I imagine.

President Trump wants to send a manned mission to Mars. I would love to be one of those astronauts. Why? Why does one climb a mountain? For the oxygen deprivation? The avalanches? Frostbite? I forgot. Your idea of an adventure is double onions on your chili dog. Hey!! Have you tried it?! Mars.

Are we almost to our seats? A few more rows up. Hey, Edmund Hillary, this expedition could use a break! Very funny. The air … it's so thin … need oxygen! Here we are. Whoa! I can see five states. |

Racing through the galaxy at 490,000 miles per hour, our courageous young space traveler finds himself in peril. Houston, we have a problem. The air in our little spaceship is polluted, our water is contaminated … The crew has grown restless, and there's been a breakdown in the chain of command. If these problems persist, an emergency landing on Mars may be our only hope for survival. So, Captain Kirk, does your "spaceship" have a name? Earth. On the plus side, Houston, our freezer is well-stocked with fudge ripple ice cream. |

Snooore … Pluto … New Horizons … Alan Stern … Such a difficult mission … What might go wrong? Ok, team, some of the first images of Pluto are coming through new and they look amazingly - hey! What is THAT on the screen?!! It looks like a pop-up ad for toe fungus medication. Well, get rid of it!! I'm sorry, but now the transmission has been cut off. Apparently you forgot to pay the bill this month. That's ok. Use the backup system. Confirmed. Get ready for images in five, four, three - Um ... I'm getting a dialog box. It says, "viewers who like images of Pluto also like these images." Jupiter. Nice. Jupiter?! I've seen a million stupid images of Jupiter!! Where'd it go?! Where's Pluto?! Passed it ... Thirty thousand miles per hour. Zwip! Piff. One must never take the extreme challenges of space exploration for granted. Space. |

Are you absolutely, positively certain nothing will go wrong with this rocket? Relax, I designed and built it myself. Ten, nine, eight, seven … Every system checks out nothing is going to go wrong with this rocket! And so it begins … A mission to Mars that will lead to great discoveries! Six, five, four ... Snap. Three, two, one ... Swooosh. Discoveries like never hire a low-cost contractor to build your launch pad. Mars has little chunks of purple linoleum. |

ROAAAAR! My rocket is flying to Mars. Lemme see that! This says "Made in China." Are you telling me that Chinese are going to beat us to Mars? Um … You don’t want our country to be number one on space, do you? Shame on you. What's wrong, Harley? Apparently I'm a very complex person. |

A Martian spacesuit not only needs to be pressurized … It has to be flexible enough for you to move. FOOMP. Now, using your hands, try to thread this needle. I quit. |

This engine will cut travel time to Mars down to four months. The secret is the spring-driven propulsion. Is it safe? Relax! Computer sensors will shut the system down if they detect any problems. Sproiiing. I'm planning on hooking those up later today. Thanks. |

This latest Mars rocket engine you're testing features a deuterium-fueled propulsion system … … And is specially designed to provide a fast, comfortable ride. WHOOOOSH. CRASH. So tell me, how did that feel? The first nanosecond as amazingly smooth. |

This spacesuit is designed to deflect objects that might fall through the Martian atmosphere. I'd like you to test its effectiveness in this special "Mars" simulator. WHAM. So, did you feel that? Ungh. |

I'm … I'm not sure I'll be up for the long trip to Mars. USA. Relax! I'll send you with plenty of "Good Housekeeping" and "Soap Opera Digest" magazines. The time will fly by. Now, once you hit the Martian atmosphere … You'll jettison your "Edison Pod" and begin a 13,000-mile-per-hour fiery free fall. At 100,000 feet your parachute will open, subjecting you to 8Gs of force and slowing your descent to 220 miles per hour. FOOOMP. 60 feet from the surface, the retro rockets in your suit will fire ... Setting you on the surface at a gentle 40 miles per hour. WHUMP. Any questions? Does one need a passport when seeking asylum in Argentina?! |

Captain's log, stardate 41388.6: We're in orbit around Orvillious IV, hoping to learn more about this mysterious planet. Signs of seismic activity below its smooth, barren surface indicate that at one time it may have been very active. But much about it remains a mystery. Is there intelligent life, and if so, will we be able to effectively communicate with it? Edison! What are you doing?! I'm supposed to write a report about grandpa, and I was just conducting a little preliminary research. |

How is it possible for my car to have an accident with the international space station?! That's what I keep asking. See … according to my orbital data, your vehicle clearly had the right of way. It doesn't matter. You're still probably going to have to pay the ticket. What ticket? It was clocked doing 1240 miles an hour over the speed limit. |

Dad, I was installing a new propulsion system on your car, and, well … I'm really sorry! It wasn't supposed to go anywhere. Don't worry though. I'm pretty sure your insurance will cover the damage. What did it hit?!! The international space station ... twice. |

Well, that's it!!! Our Mars mission is off!!! Yay! I mean shoot! My dad was supposed to get me one thing…one thing!! Geeze! You'd have thought I'd asked him for a couple of pounds of uranium tri-carbide or something. What was he supposed to get? A couple of pounds of uranium tri-carbide, but that's beside the point. |

What's the big deal about sending me to Mars, anyway? Think about it. You'll be the first earthling to go there. You'll be an international hero…bigger than Neil Armstrong. Bigger than President Obama? You'd need to be Mars to be bigger than that. |
