DANIEL GRUNBERG: “On station one, we have robot arms. And what happens is the robots have different joints like a human arm -- one at the shoulder, one at the elbow, wrist and then a claw. The kids are able to maneuver this with a remote control. A lot of it is like a human arm or like a space arm that you might find on the international space station.”
Another robot is designed to move and turn in a way that is similar to the Mars rovers.
DANIEL GRUNBERG: “And what happens is we have mazes and the children are able to organize the robots and see if they can get them through the maze within a certain time period.”
Judging from the long lines of people, the robot activities were the most popular at Mars Day. Children and many parents were completely absorbed in the robot-assisted tasks. This shows that the robots developed for Mars have won over a new generation of explorers.

Jim Zimbelman with some of Michael Benson's works from "Beyond: Visions of Plantary Landscapes"
JIM ZIMBELMAN: “My name is Jim Zimbelman. I’m a planetary geologist here at the Air and Space Museum. And what does that mean? It means I am trained in geology, but with interests in the other planets and Mars in particular.”
VOICE ONE:
Jim Zimbelman shared his studies of solar system geology with the public through images. The pictures he used are part of an exhibit called “Beyond: Visions of Planetary Landscapes” by artist Michael Benson. The exhibit shows detailed and colorful images of solar system objects including Mars.
