Prof Active In Mission To Determine Climate Change And Life On MarsCollege Station TX (SPX) May 10, 2012 NASA's top scientists - including a Texas A and M University researcher - hope to find out how Mars' climate has evolved over billions of years, and answers could come soon in the mission involving Curiosity, a Volkswagen-sized rover that is headed toward the Red Planet and will land in early August. It was launched Nov. 26, 2011, and is traveling at 13,000 miles per hour. Once there, it could answer many questions scientists have had for decades, including some involving the possibility of life o ... read more |
