Gusev Crater because pictures and data taken from the Mars Odyssey and
Mars Global Surveyor orbiters have shown evidence that a river may
have once flowed into the crater.
NASA's twin robot geologists, the Mars Exploration Rovers, launched
toward Mars on June 10 and July 7, 2003, in search of answers about
the history of water on Mars. They are scheduled to land on Mars
January 3 and January 24 PST (January 4 and January 25 UTC).

Mars, the new galactic golf paradise. Low gravity, the ball
