NASA's Curiosity On First Martian Road Trip
Headed for Glenelg, Mars
It has microbes on its drill that could transfer to water Curiosity finds
Those signs of flowing water in the past? Might've actually been lava
Just happened last week
Doesn't prove life exists out there, but shows the building blocks of life can form before planets do
Could only create galactic blobs before, can now simulate a more realistic formation process
Money is just for an experiment so far, but $3 million feasibility study is eventual goal.
Curiosity is to play a new Will.i.am track, the first music to be played on the Red Planet
XCOR Aerospace to fly suborbital vehicles.
The universe is shaped like a fractal, scientists say, but the mathematical form breaks down at large enough scales
Various tests passed. Curiosity will be getting curiouser tomorrow.
The massive cost estimates tossed around by NASA are, let us say, based on the bureaucratic factor
Curiosity snapped a photo of its backpack's crash landing is what it was
One of the largest structures in the universe, it has been nicknamed "Phoenix."
The rover's apparently just been extending its limbs and taking photos so far
Or "Mars," as some are insisting on calling it.
NASA isn't clear on why the Morpheus lander crashed
70 billion cubic light years are represented on the new map
Ross Perot, Jr. and Larry Page among those interested in tapping mineral resources on asteroids
Mission price tag: $2.5 billion
The nuclear-powered Curiosity will dig into the Martian surface to analyze what's there and hunt for some of the molecular building blocks of life, including carbon.
Curiosity begins two-year mission to look for signs of life.
Looking to the private sector after the retirement of the space shuttles.
Study projects consumer demand for spaceflights could generate $1.6 billion.
