Go forth, young robot, and learn. Let’s break down the rover’s ambitious and costly trek to Mars in an attempt to find microbial life by the numbers.
Science Buzz Time to break out another round of rovers? The brown streaks appear during the Martian spring and summer but disappear again in the winter. This cycle then repeats, leading scientists to hypothesize that it is evaporating water.

NASA unveiled a new service today where you could add your name to a list that will be included in the next shuttle to Mars, and two reddit users took advantage of the oppurtunity to make their voices heard.
Science Buzz After a five-year long alcohol-induced slumber, NASA's Mars Odyssey Orbiter awoke yesterday, wondering, “Woah, Universe, where am I?” Hope you slept well, sweet prince. Now just dust off those space rays and get back to work.
