We have to plan our take off from Earth exactly to meet up with Mars, and tomorrow is the day! To see how hard that is you can try this game.
Jack says it will be pretty cold on Mars. He say's Mars' average temparature is about -65 degrees Celsius and that's about as cold as it gets in Antarctica in winter.
We're not worried because we are going to pack warm clothes and jumpers (see picture of our packing) and have spacesuits like astronaunts wear.
Because the trip will take a long time we are also going to pack our iPods, ear plugs and lots of food for snacks too. Our teacher Mrs Morgan gave us a link to the online 'Voyage to the Planets Guidebook' and we have all downloaded the Mars sections to our iPods too. We'll probably read this on the way there. Click on this is the link if you want to read the Guidebook and see where we're going!!!
