Mars is an enigma tic planet\, and studying it is no easy task. All told\, Mars missions hav e failed more often than they have succeeded\, but the information gathere d by those that have outwitted\, out-engineered and out-lucked the planet has shown it to be an intriguing place where water likely existed in liqui d form on the surface\, and where one can imagine the possibility of all m anner of bacteria living just below the surface. The remarkable success of the Mars Exploration Rovers\, Spirit and Opportunity\, gave impetus to th e development of an even more capable spacecraft: The Mars Science Laborat ory. If successful\, this new spacecraft may open the door for a future mi ssion with the potential to detect whether or not life may have ever exist ed on Mars.
