Bring back samples?
Wow, what an undertaking...
Especially, if they don't like the samples and want to return them. laugh
Wasn't that awesome, slowed it down and landed it without breaking anything.
'Bang,Zoom.. To Mars Alice, to Mars' laugh
Before I pass judgement, I'll wait until I see what they learn & bring back. grin
Would it not be nice when NASA could fix Texas ?

Still very good work from Nasa.cheers cheers
Amazing.

I have my own theory.
Really ? Is it named after you ? laugh
if it takes 7 months to get to mars and 7 months to get back ,,,then where is all the fuel coming from ,,i wonder ,,,
I wonder how much has been learned and NOT told to us. My guess is they know much more than we've been told.
e - I'm no expert on this topic, but I think most of the fuel is used to get out of earth's gravity. Once you are traveling in a direction at a certain speed, it doesn't cost much fuel no matter how long it takes to get there. You just have to avoid the gravitational pull of other large objects and being hit by an asteroid.
There's no large objects between Earth and Mars.
Once you are at Mars, the key is to maintain an ideal orbit range.
If you pick the right distance, that doesn't take much fuel either.

U - you and I are paying for the project. My guess is, that they would honestly answer just about any question you would ask them, without giving you, or our enemies, the ability to make your own rocket. laugh
As an update, NASA released video of the rover landing, as well as photos from the surface;

Any evidence of life ever?
Not to my knowledge so far.
But, that would come with the samples they get back.
If there is life, it would probably be microscopic and in the soil and/or ice.
