Mars probe

This is pretty interesting and rare, a probe which actually makes it to Mars without "malfunctioning"! Hopefully it comes back with some conclusive data regarding life on the red planet (or if it ever indeed existed). My apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere.

The mission is the first to try to determine if there is life on Mars since the United States sent the Viking I landing craft to Mars' surface in 1976.

"It's not looking for little green men, but it is looking for matter that might provide evidence of life. It is looking for clues," Southwood had said earlier.

Two NASA rovers are right behind, scheduled to land on Mars in early January. The $400 million, camera- and instrument-laden rovers are designed to analyze Martian rocks and soil for additional clues that could reveal whether the planet was ever a warmer, wetter place capable of sustaining life.

wow, what an overwhelming response!
