NASA has invested lots of time, effort, and money into Curiosity: The Mars rover that will hopefully find any signs of life on Mars and answer the age old question that Earthlings have long pondered: Are we alone?
The new rover landing on Mars (with any luck it will land and transmit data back to the planet Earth afterwards, tension on that aspect is high) will hunt for signs of water and and and soil-based signatures of life within soil.
We will know within hours if NASA and the planet will be getting vast amounts of data and potential answers. Make of break for Curiosity. The one ton of nuclear powered material is the size of a car.. And it will, with any luck, begin cruising the Martian landscape by tomorrow.
