What was Marco Polo thinking?


Question Solution
What would he eat? Rocks, sand and frozen water. Rocks and sand are everywhere. A diet with lots of ruffage! Water is at the polar ice caps.
How old would he be? If he was 17 years old on Earth, he would be 9 years old on Mars. Remember, one Martian year = 687 days!
How much would he weigh? If he weighed 150 pounds on Earth, he would weigh only 57 pounds on Mars. Wow, no need for a diet!
How and where would his house be built? His house would be beneath the surface of Mars. A tunnel would lead to a rock cave beneath the surface. The surface has too many sandstorms. That's why he would have to live below ground.
What would he do? The main thing would be survival: looking for food and avoiding sandstorms! But for pleasure (and a profession) he could make sand sculptures.
How will he get home? He must go back to the place he landed and walk through the time portal!
