Hot TextClick on the sentence that indicates how the study of Mars might help people on Earth.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) successfully launched an unmanned mission to explore the planet Mars on November 26th, 2011. The mission was named the Mars Science Laboratory and the vehicle successfully landed on August 5th, 2012. The laboratory contains a robotic rover named Curiosity. Curiosity has many pieces of technology and scientific instruments to send images back to Earth and to identify the chemistry of the planet.

The mission has four science goals. The first is to determine whether there has ever been life on Mars. Scientists can analyze the rocks and soil of Mars to look for water activity. There is no liquid water on Mars currently because the conditions are not favorable, but there is evidence from the rocks that water was once present. The second goal is to characterized the climate of Mars. Understanding how the climate changed over time will give scientists insight into how a planet that once had liquid water became the dusty planet it is now. The third goal is to characterize the geology of Mars. To do this, Curiosity grinds rock samples and sends information about the minerals on Mars. The final science goal of the mission is to prepare for human exploration.
