The Curiosity rover is currently roaming a 96-mile crater on the surface Mars, and the evidence it has collected suggests that the crater was once home to a huge lake. And NASA scientists say this information is unlike any they’ve seen before.
Behind the impressive sky crane-type system that landed the American Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars late Sunday night was an Argentinian man, Miguel San Martin. San Martin first became interested in space listening to NASA’s Viking mission to Mars, so his participation this time was quite appropriate.
