(ORLANDO FIGUEROA/MARS PROGRAM DIRECTOR)
We are indeed in the midst of unprecedented age of robotic exploration.
Scientists know water once flowed on the surface of Mars. But the Spirit
rover will determine if that water lasted a few minutes, a few hours or
millions of years. If evidence exists of past or present life, humanity
would finally have evidence that Earth is not unique. The Spirit can
navigate around obstacles, collect samples and beam back pictures of the
planets surface.
(PETER THEISINGER/PROJECT MANAGER)
The uncertainty will be what Mars does to us.
In a few weeks NASA will launch a second rover called Opportunity,
doubling its chances of success or failure. The Mars Program could
probably survive the loss of one, but not both. In the wake of space
shuttle Columbias destruction, NASA is under enormous pressure to pull
off a successful mission.

Anything humanly possible has been done. After that, were at the mercy

Or as some scientists call it, the death planet. Of all the missions to
Mars, only about one in three ever succeed.
If the wind speed is too high, the air bags could rupture on impact. And
engineers cant control exactly where the rovers will land.

Success depends on how hard you hit the ground, and what you hit.
The answers wont come until January, when the first rover arrives on
