Since 1965 , humankind has successfully sent over 20 missions to Mars .

We've learned a lot about our neighbor, from subterranean secrets to meteorological phenomena.

Mars is a still and quiet place compared to Earth , and it doesn't harbor life as we know it.

The planet is like a “freeze-dried environment,” says Kirsten Siebach .

NASA 's Opportunity rover went quiet in 2018 in a global dust storm that blotted out the sun and prevented solar power generation.

Starting with Mariner 9’s visit in 1971 , scientists have collected ample evidence that liquid water once flowed on the planet.

Young icecaps bookend the Red Planet , and they are estimated to have formed only within the last five million years .

The Red Planet could have harbored life during its early days .

Curiosity identified in the rocks all the chemical ingredients needed to support life.

The best way to tell is to collect rock samples from Mars and subject them to the scrutiny of the most advanced instruments on Earth .
