[00:00:00](David Delgado)
When we started this project, it was working with a group of students 
[00:00:04]during their summer break and they took on the Imagine Mars project.
[00:00:10]At the same time, they were learning how to use these music production tools.
[00:00:16]And so, a smaller group of those students decided that they were so excited about the project
[00:00:22]that they were going to go on their own and create this rap song.
[00:00:26]And to me, it was just amazing -- 'cause it sort of is the greatest example 
[00:00:31]of somebody learning something, retaining their information, 
[00:00:35]and expressing it in a way that's meaningful to them.
[00:00:38]We didn't ask them to go and write a song --
[00:00:41]we didn't ask them to go and produce music --
[00:00:43]but, they were so excited about the information that they went and they did it anyway.
[00:00:48]And they created something that was just astounding.
[00:00:51]They had really learned something in this project --
[00:00:54]not only about Mars science, not only about learning technology skills --
[00:00:58]but about green design, about their own community,
[00:01:02]and they figured out a way to express themselves that was just amazing.
[00:01:08]
[00:01:16]All right, here we go yÕall -- we're recording. WeÕre rollinÕ.
[00:01:19](rehearsing) ...we done made a habitat -- how they figure that?
[00:01:22]Okay, people -- it's about that time.
[00:01:24](more performers rehearsing)
[00:01:40]...and it seems like we 'bout to blast off in 5, 4, 3, 2, 
[00:01:45]You got it man! You can do it, brother!
[00:01:51]Okay, come off the ship, people. We done finally made it here.
[00:01:55]Yeah, I know its cold.  But just come out of the habitat -- you gonna be warm. 
[00:01:59]So check this out.
[00:02:00]OK people -- whole time, we done had it fronted
[00:02:03]Took things for granted but now we gonna show who run it.
[00:02:06]ItÕs a cold planet, so we doing damage
[00:02:08]Put on your boots and space suits - we about to go 'hamage'
[00:02:11]We done made a habitat -- how they figure that?
[00:02:14]So we 'bout to go on and show them how to live on that red planet --
[00:02:17]-- man, it's oh so cold.  You think it's hot, but we like 'Nope, it's froze.'
[00:02:21]So froze, OK -- now get off the ship.
[00:02:24]We up in this habitat -- Earth nowhere near.
[00:02:27]Plant them trees so we can cultivate 'em right.
[00:02:29]Oxygen tank up on your back, inhale and take flight.
[00:02:32]You're gonna be warm with heated surfaces at night;
[00:02:35]King James about to show you the how-toÕs of new life.
[00:02:38]Drill for water, the solar circuit on;
[00:02:40]Earth bye-bye, 'cause Mars our new home.
[00:02:43]Bye Bye Earth, we off to Mars
[00:02:45]Survival 101, King James going hard
[00:02:48]Seven month trip, yeah I know we going far --
[00:02:51]But we got them bars, no worries now,
[00:02:53]'cause Chi-town Royalty 'bout to show you how.
[00:02:56]All right people, we done been here for about three months now.
[00:02:59]You all know all the rotation so set up the UV lights on the water, set up our home -- 
[00:03:03]And we 'bout to throw it to Q.
[00:03:05]Ah, I canÕt feel my feet, IÕm on my way to Mars so I guess I ain't gonna sleep. 
[00:03:10]Third gravity, gotta adjust for about a week, 
[00:03:13]I'm back, IÕm good on Mars so I guess I have to keep the beat
[00:03:15]No oxygen, no clones -- technology ain't right so I'm keeping up with the Jones 
[00:03:21]No food, no phone -- IÕm so far gone so I'm in another zone.
[00:03:25]Bye Bye Earth, we off to Mars
[00:03:28]Survival 101, King James going hard
[00:03:31]Seven month trip, yeah I know we going far --

[00:03:39](music, shout-outs)
[00:03:47]We got make spaceships -- no more cars --
[00:03:49]Man, ain't thinkin' 'bout the Earth cause we on our way to Mars. 
[00:03:52]Man, I never was a human -- I was an undercover martian.
[00:03:55]Jumpin' real high, grabbin' stars like I'm Tarzan.
[00:03:58]Spaceship holds 300, so we had to name it Spartan.
[00:04:00]Park it on the roof like we got valet parking --
[00:04:03]My own bio-dome made of metal, glass and stone --
[00:04:06]We got to hurry up and leave before we turn to dust and bones 
[00:04:08]Sitting at the top is the Media Wizards' home
[00:04:11]We accomplished so much - we only five years strong
[00:04:14]Other programs are nothing but a couple clones --
[00:04:16]They still on Earth while we're buildin' ozone.
[00:04:19]Bye Bye Earth, we off to Mars

[00:04:54]IÕd like to thank Dave, Ms. Greyer, 
[00:04:56]and all the other people who are responsible for bringing astronomy into our community. 
[00:05:01]I never thought astronomy could be this exciting.  (We're building life on Mars...)
[00:05:04]I could talk about it all day. (We're building life on Mars...)
[00:05:06]Yeah...
[00:05:09]Bye Bye Earth...
