Exploring Mars January 25, 2012

In this talk, Dr John Bridges, a participating scientist on NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, discusses what we know about the evolution of Mars throughout the long history of Martian investigation: from the early telescopic images which showed the presence of polar ice up to the current and planned rover missions. When will we be able to answer the question: was there ever life on Mars?

Talk suitable for ages 14+.
