For its tenth anniversary, the Mars Rover 'Opportunity' made ??a sensational discovery: he discovered traces of water on the red planet - and thus favorable conditions for microbial life.

We started the project with great ambitions . Our goal was to transform our understanding of Mars. In only 90 days, which is quite difficult, but in ten years you get quite nice get close .
The Mars rover "Opportunity" , the U.S. space agency, NASA , is celebrating its tenth anniversary . Originally, the Rover should explore Mars only 90 days. However, he is still active and provides spectacular data .
His latest discovery is a sensation : The rover studied for some months the " Endeavor " crater. The results have now been published : before and after the formation of the crater of water has flowed over the stones . That was around 3.7 billion years ago.
We have fabulous scientists . Although I'm not quite sure what we expected, but from orbit , we see compelling evidence that prevail at this place more extreme conditions than we already know.
If it has indeed been water on Mars , life would not have been possible there ? Are we just an accident of the highest order or many other life forms that exist only due to water ?
And alone , that we through our research have the opportunity to answer questions such as : Are we alone in the universe?
I can not imagine a better way to further promote the development of mankind.
Whether it but really once were living beings on Mars is unclear. The NASA team continues to conduct research on the crater , for it is " Each additional day a gift. "
