The R.B.D. Song of the Day | Visions of the Future


Hannah Russell, "Mars" via iTunes (The Last Angry Spaceman)

Captain's Log: "Mars" is a children's song about the Red Planet, including fictional but scientifically accurate testimony from the Sojourner rover, which landed on Mars in 1997. In this instance we've chosen cold, hard facts over any of the more poetic songs about Mars.
"It has had a visitor
That we sent to look around.
This visitor was a little car
Riding on the ground…

"I was the visitor and my name is Sojourner. I had a partner by the name of Pathfinder, and we took a lot of pictures and sent them all back to Earth so that everyone could see what Mars really looks like. It has lots of rocks and even has mountains, and the soil is kind of reddish orange."
