Three billion years ago, however, the situation may have been much different. In 2012 the Mars Curiosity rover beamed images back to Earth containing some of the most concrete evidence that water once flowed in abundance on the planet. Small, remarkably This image released by NASA on February 7, 2013, taken by Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, shows a self-portrait of NASA’s Mars rover. PIC/AFP PHOTO/HANDOUT “Currently, even though the recent find of ‘liquid We have 50 years of exploring the Red Planet. There are spacecraft in orbit around Mars and our rovers are up there right now exploring, and collecting data to use for future missions." Davis and Ejiofor told the students how working on "The Martian" gave Rounded pebbles discovered by the Curiosity rover were carried some 30 kilometres from their provides some of the most compelling evidence yet that Mars had long periods of warm climate, allowing flowing rivers to move material tens of kilometres Cape Canaveral: Three years after landing in a giant Martian crater, NASA's Curiosity rover has found what scientists call proof that the basin had repeatedly filled with water, bolstering chances for life on Mars, a study published on Thursday showed. Prof Jerolmack said: "When you land a multi-billion dollar rover on Mars, you want to extra as much information from the data as possible." The researchers rolled limestone fragments in a lab drum, periodically pausing to record their shape changes and .

As production on the Space Launch System and Orion ramps up, NASA has been very vocal that they are on a "Journey to Mars." The problem, though, is that while SLS and Orion are integral parts of that mission, they're only a piece of the overall puzzle. With the Hollywood blockbuster movie “The Martian” being screened in theaters, the discovery of liquid water on the planet’s surface and NASA releasing its plan outlining future mission to Mars – the Red Planet is back in the public spotlight. Mars enthusiasts have something big to celebrate today. NASA's Curiosity rover has confirmed that the red planet was home to large lakes full of water approximately 3.5 billion years ago. The Curiosity rover is currently exploring the Gale Crater on Mars. We're closer than ever to exploring Mars. After The Mars Curiosity Rover discovered water on the Red Plant, NASA has been ramping up its efforts to send the first human to the planet. Now, the agency has released a new report that outlines the next steps .
