This article was up yesterday, but I thopught you might enjoy a taste. It’s a virtual mission to Mars. Our first mission to Mars may still be a ways off, but people can take a virtual tour of the Red Planet thanks to a brand new video by the Mars Express Orbiter.
Since its launch 20 years ago by the European Space Agency, this cube-shaped space craft has been conducting detailed recon on fourth rock from the sun, Phys.org reported. During that time, it has created the most comprehensive map of the Martian atmosphere and its chemical composition, examined Mars’s innermost moon (Phobos) in stunning detail, and traced the geographic features that indicate that liquid water once flowed freely on the red planet’s seemingly inhospitable surface.
i would drop one into the canyon, but that would be a hard shot. the crater would be easier.
