The presence of rounded pebbles on Mars was evidence of a prior history of water on the planet. In a new study, researchers have used the pebbles' shape to extrapolate how far they must have traveled down an ancient riverbed. The analysis suggests they Rounded pebbles discovered by the Curiosity rover were carried some 30 kilometres from their source by a flowing river on the red planet, a new study concludes. The research, reported in the journal Nature Communications, provides some of the most That NASA has aspirations for a manned mission to the Red Planet is already well known, but the space agency has now revealed in greater detail how it plans to make such a mission reality. In a document titled "NASA's Journey to Mars: Pioneering Next Steps Credit: DLR/ESA Ridley Scotts ‘The Martian’ takes place mostly on the surface of the Red Planet and is chock full of breathtakingly beautiful panoramic vistas. In the book you can only imagine Mars. In the movie Scott’s talents shine as he immerses NASA's Mars rover Curiosity discovered the small, round stones near its landing site in Gale Crater on the Red Planet in 2013.

That’s why, for almost eight years, researchers based out of the University of Arizona have been Initially, astronauts may visit one of Mars’ moons and work in transit habitats near the planet. Finally, the plan would send astronauts to the Martian surface to conduct research and determine the viability of establishing a permanent base on the Red .
