Because someday mankind will use up the earth and will eventually need a second place to call home. If we learn all we can about Mars before that, it will make it much easier for us to establish it as an eventual second home. It will be many years before that happens and it won't happen in out lifetime. But it will be an awesome feat to one day have humans living on another planet. Plus, it's space exploration and that rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgeranacoke Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 My favorite image so far. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter finds Curiosity descending to the surface after chute deployment. http://i.space.com/images/i/20204/original/mars-rover-curiosity-landing-parachute-mro-inset-1.jpg Another one taken during decent from the Mars Science Laboratory itself! Its heat shield just after being ejected. http://i.space.com/images/i/20226/original/mars-rover-curiosity-heat-shield-descent-imager.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unemployeed for about 9 months back in 2003 when my job layed me off, but who cares? That was years ago and has nothing to do with the topic being discussed here.
