Why Do We Explore Mars?

The fascination about Mars started in the 1800s when we first saw it and the interest grew when we discovered that the planet might have hosted life billions of years ago.
Exploring Mars is now crucial to learn how planet can evolve throughout the centuries.
A few spacecrafts have made it to the red planet and taught us about soils and atmosphere.
NASA ongoing mission is The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover that will actively search for signs of previous life on Mars that was launched on July 30, 2020.
Over the years, the different orbiters and spacecrafts confirmed that there are marks that undoubtedly are the work of water flows and that the planet was likely to have an ocean located in the northern area.
However, at some point, the red planet went through a brutal change and became the dry and dusty planet that we know today.
This is why learning more about Mars history will have a major impact about how to deal with climate change on Earth and what could possibly be its future.
Nasa is wishing to ship the first crew off to Mars by 2030 and is already building a spacecraft, Orion, that could send humans off to Space.
But sending a spacecraft to Mars is not easy as more than 60% of landing attempts have failed. The atmosphere makes landing really tricky.
Mars does not only have the answers for the future of Earth but could also be the hope for the humanity living on other planets.
