{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|Just look at Springfield. A few years ago, there was nothing here but acres of healthy green grass.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|It was just your typical post-nuclear-catastrophe wasteland. Lush greenery as far as the eye could see.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|And now, it's a bustling town once again.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Honestly, I'm unimpressed.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|Seriously? Look at all the houses, and decorations, and people…}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|I don't see too many premium items…}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|Well, no. The owner of this town really SHOULD sink more cash into the project. It's money so well spent…}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|If you let two entrepreneurial guys like us loose in here, it'd be RIDICULOUS how much we'd get done.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|What are you proposing?}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|I don't know. We need a project. What are kids excited about today?}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|I read somewhere that they like soccer, and the color green. And positivity. They dislike rudeness and shades of green they feel are too light or too dark.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|Hmmm. Not much to go on. We need to do a little market research.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|Let's hire some kids to be our ears.}}
{{THT|{{Task/Job|Make Lisa Research What Kids Are Into|2 hours|[[Springfield Elementary]] or the [[Simpson House]]}}<br>{{Task/Optional|Make Database Do an Online Opinion Poll|2 hours|the [[Java Server]]|char=[[Database]]}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|The results are in, and the numbers could not be clearer. Kids are into space.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|And the hottest, most trending site in all of space is a little rock called… [[Mars]].}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|Then that's where we need to go. We should organize a mission to Mars.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|Keep in mind we have zero expertise -- and zero interest, to be honest -- in rocketry, math, exploration, or the future.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|But what we do have is passion. And passion will get you to Mars faster than any rocket.}}
{{TBT|'''Message'''}}
{{TB|We're not joking about this. Everybody loves space. Check out our tribute to the great beyond in the store!}}

=== Pt. 2 ===

{{THT|After completing Pt. 1|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|I've been doing some research, and here's what no one will tell you -- going to Mars is EXPENSIVE. It costs MONEY.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|Yes, but raising money is EASY when you have passion.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|The moment our friends in the private sector get a load of our passion, they'll be throwing money at us.}}

{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|I told you raising $20 billion would be easy.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|Now all we need is astronauts.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|I agree. Besides a launch vehicle, a Mars lander, habitats capable of sustaining life on a barren rock…}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|…some way to grow food there, a means of communicating with Mars, and a staff of thousands here on Earth to monitor our Mars colony…}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Other than that, all we need is astronauts.}}

=== Pt. 3 ===
{{Table|
{{THT|After completing Pt. 2|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|We need some way to attract astronauts to our Mars mission.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|We should put on a show. Really dazzle the people. But not just any show.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|No. It should be the best show.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|I almost want to capitalize that name. The Best Show. That's how good this astronaut-finding show will be.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|We'll serve refreshments. Drinks, appetizers, handburgers…}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|The word is “hamburgers.”}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|That's neither here Nora, there. How's Tuesday at 9:00 PM work for you?}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|It's as good a time as any other. Now let's find us some astronauts!}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I'll go! I'm your first volunteer Martian!}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|Former astronaut Homer Simpson! What an honor.}}
{{Tapped Out Homer Icon|Guilty}}
{{TB|Last time I went to space, I almost killed everybody.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|Great, great. We'll give your application serious consideration.}}

{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|I think that went well. But why so many questions about what we'll do if we find life on Mars? I thought Martians were science fiction.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|I wouldn't know. I'm not a sci-fi guy. Space stories always bored me, frankly.}}
{{TBT|'''Message'''}}
{{TB|Skeptical about life on Mars, eh? Well wait until they get a load of this guy.}}

=== Pt. 4 ===

{{THT|After completing Pt. 3|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|The thing about space rockets is, if you don't build them EXACTLY right, they blow up.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|It's really no different than when we started that coffee company.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|Refresh my memory -- why didn't that coffee idea work?}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|It would have, except it turns out there are already three coffee stores on every street corner in the civilized world.}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|That's right. Circling back to this Mars fiasco, why don't we use some of our second-tier astronaut candidates to test out the equipment?}}
{{THT|{{Task/JobMulti|Make “{{TOCG|Adult|Candidates}}” Be Guinea Pigs|6 hours|[[Exploration Inc.]]|3}}|colspan=2}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|Were you as deeply moved as I was by the sight of most of our Mars equipment not blowing up when tested?}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|A 65% success rate. It's pretty awe-inspiring.}}
{{Tapped Out Paul Icon}}
{{TB|So the only remaining question is: who do we blast off to Mars for the rest of their lives?}}
{{Tapped Out Barry Icon}}
{{TB|All I know for certain is: not Homer Simpson. Other than that, it's wide open, my friend.}}
{{TBT|'''Message'''}}
{{TB|Tune into this week's Simpsons and find out who the real candidates will be. Sunday 8/7 Central on FOX!}}
