NASA Curiosity Rover has landed safely on Mars

NASA's latest exploration has reached its target and landed safely on Mars at about 1:34 am EST. Instead of using balloons or parachutes, this landing is using rockets to ensure a smooth landing on the surface of the red planet, but it is very risky. The NASA scientists were able to navigate a perfect landing, however. After a nearly 8 month journey and 570 million km journey from Earth, the rover is ready to go to work.

Costing $2.5 billion, the Curiosity rover is much larger than previous rovers, about the size of car, which will allow it to cover large distances. The primary mission is to examine the makeup of the surface to determine if microbial life once existed on our planetary neighbor.
