For
hundreds of years humans
have dreamed of exploring
the planet Mars. Other
than Earth, Mars is the
planet with the most hospitable
climate in our solar system.
Many scientists believe
that liquid water may
have once flowed over
its surface harboring
primitive bacterial life.
In an effort to investigate
these intriguing possibilities
NASA has planned several
new Mars exploration missions.
NASA planners hope that
these missions will help
explain many unanswered
questions about the red
planet and how those answers
will affect us here on
Earth.
