NASA Spots an Unusual Rock on Mars
Mars: where the streets are red, the atmosphere is thin, and the locals are, well, non-existent. It’s like a ghost town, except instead of ghosts, it’s just rocks. But hey, at least the real estate is cheap! Mars, the red…
Asking a NASA Scientist: Is There Life on Mars? The Answer Will Shock You
If aliens exist on Mars, it’s anybody’s guessing what they would look like. Such creatures probably look something like giant, fluffy, pink cotton candy clouds with googly eyes and tentacles. They probably communicate through a series of high-pitched squeaks and…
Human Hibernation Could Take Us to Mars, Scientist Claims
Will humans ever land on Mars? Well, that’s a tough question to answer. On the one hand, humans have already made some impressive strides in space exploration. We’ve sent probes and landers to Mars, and we’ve even sent a few…
NASA Makes a Festive Video About Winter on Mars
