1. This article is about the recent adventure of rover that landed on Mars, on August 6th 2012. So this rover landed and has been exploring the world of Mars and the recent studies show that this rover has collected a sample from the planet. From collecting this sample scientists now belive that mars is a different color under from what we see. The sample the rover took had a color of what we humans know as gray. Scientists are going to run tests and experiments to look more into this sample of mars. The scientists are trying to see if Mars is habitable for life as we know.

2. I feel this is great movement towards the future of life on Earth. One day us humans will get to planet mars and hopfully other planets as well. Furthermore,this is a great opportunity for humans explore what space beholds for the near future.

3. This article connects to class because there had to be some type of navigation for that rover to get to mars. I don't think they use a "map" to get to mars. I think the whole route is guided by satillites, NASA, and forces so the rover can get there safe and unbroken
