The History of Mars Exploration - by Chris Gainor - For
centuries, Mars has baffled and tantalized people on Earth as a planet
that could harbour life. Early space probes dashed hopes for life, but
more recent information has reopened the speculation. Our limited
information about conditions on Mars has affected interest in planetary
science and space exploration in both negative and positive ways. The
Spirit and Opportunity rovers have renewed the search for life by
discovering water on Mars, and humans still hope to visit the Red Planet
soon. Presentation
