On August 5, NASA's Curiosity Rover is scheduled to land on Mars. Curiosity is on a mission to determine whether Mars was ever able to support microbial life. This is the most advanced Rover we've put into space. The technological challenge of landing on Mars is immense and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has produced a video to explain how they are doing it.
Absolutely fascinating process and I'll be tuned in on 8/5! dm
