President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) prepares to address thousands of elementary students nationwide as a NASA space probe descends on Mars, but a host of thorny problems suddenly land on his doorstep, including a fire in a Russian nuclear missile silo and a last-minute loss of communication with the Mars spacecraft.
In addition: the Icelandic ambassador is peeved at the President for missing their meeting; Josh (Bradley Whitford) is still smarting after being delegated the responsibility of choosing the subject of the next official stamp; a reluctant C.J. (Allison Janney) is forced to attend a concert where she will encounter some angry applicants whom she rejected as her new press deputy; and an embarrassed Sam (Rob Lowe) is confronted by former date-mate Mallory (Allison Smith) at the concert.
It is eventually discovered that fire at the Russian silo started when unpaid workers attempted to drain liquid hydrogen from the warhead in an attempt to steal it. While that problem reaches a resolution, the Mars probe remains out of contact.

[edit] Quotes
- C.J. Cregg: We have at our disposal a captive audience of school children. Some of them don't go to the blackboard or raise their hand cause they think the're going to be wrong. I think you should say to these kids, "You think you get it wrong sometimes, you should come down here and see how the big boys do it."... Some of them will laugh and most of them won't care but for some they might honestly see that it's about going to the blackboard and raising your hand.
