Physics with trees, Period 1, 3 Dec '08
The interior of the DangerShop was stark and white with an airlock door to the far side. An array of lightweight, plastic, booted and gloved suits and helmets hung to one side. Beside the airlock door, Mohinder stood, tapping his fingers against the helmet at his side.
"Not all planets have geology similar to Earth's," he started, "Many lack the initial conditions to support life, and if we want to look closer, we have to prepare." He quickly described how to put the suits on over regular clothing and fix the helmet.
When everyone was ready, he pulled open the inner door, and led them onto a rusty rocked landscape beneath a blackened sky.
"Mars, fourth planet in this solar system, and probably the closest analogue to Earth," introduced Mohinder. "It has similar elemental composition, and a basalt surface, from old volcanic activity while the lack of atmosphere makes more obvious the crater strikes. Most of the ice," he gestured around them, "isn't water," continuing to talk about the local geology.
"These should show you how to collect surface samples," he said, passing out tools and handouts. "And remember you are in low gravity."

Drunk almost counts as floating, right?
