Whoa!
(Laughing) I'm a lot jumpier on Mars.
BOTH: Whee!
Yeah!
Whoo-hoo!
Awesome.
SALLY: Yippee.
Look how high we can jump.
I wish we could jump like this at home.
Since Mars is about half the size of Earth, there's much less gravity holding you down.
When you weigh so much less, you can really jump around.
Whoo-hoo!
That's easy for you to say.
I have fins, so I can only jump out of water.
And there's not much of that around here.
But your suit has a boot, so you can jump on Mars too.
Huh?
Look at that.
I just grew a foot and my space suit still fits perfectly.
(Exclaiming) Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Follow that bouncing fish.
Whoa!
Gotcha!
Oof!
Nice save.
Good one, Cat.
Whew, thank you.
My pleasure.
I believe that makes me the first astronaut to actually catch a fish on Mars.
(Laughing)
