Out of this world: NASA lands on Mars

On Monday morning, a space rover from NASA, called Curiosity, landed on Mars. This is only the second successful landing ever on the Red Planet. And the other, a spacecraft from the Soviet Union in 1971, lost contact pretty quickly after touchdown. The question is: could aliens have cut that one off?

 

Yes, there could be aliens on Mars. Or at least, some kind of life. Mars is so close and so similar to Earth that lots of people have wondered about its potential as a futuristic home for humans. And if that’s a possibility, you can be sure that Curiosity will find out. With the fanciest laboratory equipment that has ever been sent to another planet, the car-sized rover is set to explore Mars for at least two years. Why so long? Because NASA wants to be extra-careful and extra-thorough on this mission. They’ve already waited almost 3 years for this launch, since technical difficulties forced them to miss the last line-up with Earth and Mars. And now that Curiosity is finally on solid Martian ground, they don’t even want to take it for a drive ‘til they’ve spent weeks checking it for boo-boos from the landing.

 

Pictures are already streaming in from Curiosity, giving us clues as to what the Red Planet looks like. Stay tuned for more, stargazers! In the meantime, tell us: Do you think there could be life on Mars?

I just wanted to say that I lover everything about GL. I LOVE the mag, and I love the website. GirlsLife always gives great advice, wether it is from the MODs, Dear Carol, or Bill and Dave. I love the giveaways, and the friendliness to it. All of the girls on GL are super sweet and nice and understanding. All of the MODs get swamped with questions everyday, but they still try to get around to everyone's questions no matter what. All I can say is you have done an amazing job, I don't know what I would do without you GL!

I mean there must be some kind of life in space. Each star in the galaxy could possibly be another solar system. If there are that many solar systems it would be unlikely if we were the only living things.

i'm just about positive that there is life on other planets. i remember there was a meteorite that landed on earth a while ago that contained ice and fossils of primitive life forms, i think it was from mars. i think that at one point, there may have been life on mars, and who knows? maybe there still is.

i was reading the new issue of national geographic and there's a practical plan for making mars inhabitable for humans. this rover is the first step, the exploration step. the plan, if implemented, will take around a thousand years, and even longer for the atmospheric composition to change enough for people to be able to go outside without oxygen tanks.

personally, i'm extremely torn on this project...on one hand, earth won't be inhabitable forever, you know? on the other, how would we like it if extra-terrestrials came in and pumped methane into our atmosphere because that's what they breathed?

I think it's possible that there could be some kind of life on Mars, but I doubt that there's any sort of advanced life form.

MOD MOD MOD:
I got new shorts for BTS and school start tomorrow. I'm used to wearing pretty tight shorts but these are my actual size,(Not too loose,not too tight). I usually only wear cuffed shorts so they feel more fitted because I'm paranoid of my butt hanging out. But these aren't fitted or cuffed. What should I do to stop my worrying!?!?! PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

hey! Just think to yourself that any insecurity you feel is way more obvious to you than anyone else. I bet you'll look great!
