A kid reporter journeyed to Mars aboard Disney's new space ride. Find out how close her ride
was to the real thing.
Weekly Reader kid reporter Sonia Mia Diaz blasted into space. This 10-year-old from Florida
was on a journey to Mars.
Sonia Mia rocketed to Mars aboard a new ride called Mission: SPACE. She experienced the ride
during its opening week at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida.
After her mission, Sonia Mia interviewed Sue Bryan, one of the ride's creators. Sonia Mia
learned that Disney worked closely with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) to develop the new space attraction. The ride lets people experience what a trip to Mars
might be like in the future.
A Space Adventure
On her journey, Sonia Mia never actually left the ground. The ride gives people the feeling of
blasting off and traveling through space. "We really wanted people to feel as close as they could
to what it's like to be an astronaut," said Bryan.
Sonia Mia read quotes about space exploration as she waited in line. Information about space
history fills the attraction. There is even a moon car called a lunar rover on loan from a museum.
