Water On Mars

Mars has always held a fascination for us Earthlings. It is our immediate neighbour out from the Sun and the outermost of the hard, rocky terrestrial planets before the asteroid belt and the gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn. Since the first telescope observations of Mars in the early 1600s, we have suspected that it is more Earth-like than any other planet. Our desire to know it better has been driven by our need to learn more about our own planet and its place in the solar system and by our fertile imaginations. Is Mars inhabited? Could it be a home for mankind in some distant future?
