Mars

When you dream about going places, where does your mind take you? The Grand Canyon, Africa or New York? If you spend time looking at the stars, you’ll notice a bright one that’s a bit red. This is Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun. But more importantly, it is the next place humans are going to explore.

Mars is so much like the Earth that we want to go there and see what happened. Where did the water go? When we look at pictures of Mars, we see places where there was water a long time ago, for example big canyons and ice caps at the north and south poles of Mars.

But something happened on Mars to make the water disappear and make it a cold place with a very thin atmosphere. So, we’re sending robots equipped with special instruments to Mars to study the planet’s environment and look for signs of life. It’s going to take years, and there’s a lot to do.

Scientists have organized international expeditions to Mars. Do you know about Mars Pathfinder that landed on Mars on July 4, 1997 (the fourth of July, nineteen ninety-seven)? It sent back about 17,000 (seventeen thousand) pictures of the Red Planet. Thanks to modern technology we can follow other missions to Mars – for example, the Mars Odyssey mission. The spaceship was launched on April 7, 2001 (the seventh of April twenty zero one). On the Internet we can find exciting reports and images of its flight. Odyssey has enough flight system resources to carry on its exploration the next 10 years. It will surely be a great adventure for all space lovers. (adapted from The World of English)
