Approximately a year ago, NASA succeeded in landing the Mars Curiosity Rover on the Planet Mars. It took about 11 months just to TRAVEL THERE! The point of the mission? To explore mars and conduct tests on the environment for the possibility of supporting life forms. In other words, if Mars had water at some time, it might have been able to support life. The Rover wants to find evidence that proves that idea.NASA equipped it with multiple ways to test samples from Mars soil and environment,. It is like a rolling laboratory that is remote controlled by NASA scientists back on Earth. At this point, it would take almost a year for US to actually travel to Mars ,so the Rover's cameras help us help like we are there without being there physically!
