American rovers, Opportunity and Cunos

intormation to Earth for scientists to study i
be like rush hour on Mars as a Eurage

easy for the astronauts as they will have to
almost three years away from Earth, but it
worth it. Neil Armstrong made one quant les

A Humans love to explore. We crossed oceans to
discover new lands. We explored the highest, coldest
and most remote places on Earth. In 1961, Yuri
Gagarin boarded Vostok 1 at Baikonur Cosmodrome
and became the first person in space. Eight years
later, Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on
the Moon. Now, we're turning our attention to Mars
as the next step on our journey of exploration.
B Why Mars? Well, firstly, it's not too far. Apart from
Venus, it's our closest neighbour, so the journey will
take months and not years. Temperatures on Venus
are over 400°C so humans can't go there, but on Mars
the average temperature is about -63°C. Other planets
like Jupiter and Saturn are big balls of gas with
extremely strong winds, but Mars has a solid rocky
surface.​
