Ready

The planet MARS offers hope and curiosity for future human planetary exploration. For now, we marvel at the discoveries of the robotic rovers which act as examples of the tremendous human accomplishments and visions that have allowed us to roam and discover the red planet like never before. The rovers have paved the way. Are we ready to take the next big step?
