Mission to Mars is dedicated to the exploration and
colonization of the red planet. Mars has fascinated Mankind
since we first turned our attention towards the night sky.
During the middle half of the last century it was believed that
intelligent life flourished, building complicated waterways to
irrigate summer crops from the melting ice caps. It was not
until the latter half of that century that we discovered, through our
first mission to Mars, just how wrong we were. But with our longest, on planet
mission to Mars, Spirit and Opportunity, our two
little rovers have given us evidence of a Mars greater than all our
past expectations. A Mars that was once very much like Earth.
A warm planet with vast oceans and a rich atmosphere. A
planet capable of supporting life. And if life was seeded from the heavens,
as we now know that basic amino acids necessary for life are common
among the chunks of rocks that fall to Earth, then too it is likely
that life may have formed and prospered on Mars.
