This illustration shows NASA's Mars Opportunity Rover, the second of the two Mars Exploration Rovers to land on the Red Planet in 2004 to search for signs of past life. NASA/JPL-Caltech It seems easy enough: If we can blast a man to the moon for a round of golf, why do we have...
If you want your spacecraft to enter Mars orbit or to land on the surface, you add a lot of constraints to the design problem. For an orbiter, you have to consider the significant amount of propellant required for orbit insertion, while for a lander, you have to design and build a hea...
Living onMarswill require a considerable amount of power, of course. While solar panels and radioisotope thermoelectric generators (which convert the heat of radioactive decay into electricity) have powered robotic NASA rovers on the Red Planet, new strategies will be required for manned missions, D...
But it’s hard enough to analyze samples from Mars’s surface using rovers — how can you possibly tell what the interior of a planet located hundreds of millions of miles away is like? Fortunately, we have an idea of how to do this because we have practice from studying Earth. We lear...

Automated forklift systems that you can find in warehouses and Mars rovers are examples of mobile robots. Many manufacturers of this type of equipment often have fleet management software. This allows dozens of mobile robots to react in real-time to the changing needs of the facility. Using art...
“I can see a human taking on a supervising role… because the creativity and intelligence of humans is still unmatched.” Dive Deeper ⬇️ How We’ll Die on Mars A Deep Dive Into What Makes Ingenuity So Ingenious Our Rovers Might Be Too Weak to Find Life on Mars For example, ...
Once we’ve been on Mars for a while though, that might change. “Long term, after you’ve created a first few initial structures, you’ve had more rovers on the surface, maybe you’ve had astronauts on the surface, then maybe an underground base is the way to go in the future,”...
Methane is just CH4, so again, between Mars’ CO2 and H2O, this will be doable. They’ll also need to make fuel for ground transportation on Mars—rovers, etc. Internet. This will be taken care of by satellites (probably SpaceX satellites made in the Seattle operation they’re starting)...
Yet, the raucous duet somehow comes out on a high note, concluding, "We should both just be glad/And spend this Christmas together." The 2008 track was the brainchild of the Hives, who always wanted to do a song with Lauper. "This is a Christmas song whose eggnog has been spiked wit...
