In 2003, the United States launched two probes, Spirit and Opportunity, which are expected to land at 5438+ 10 in June 2004. ...

Comments: Going to Mars has several meanings. The first layer means looking for water, and the purpose of looking for water is to find life. This time, the purpose of the United States and Europe is basically the same. Europe is directly looking for things related to life, looking for organic carbon, including methane emissions. The United States is looking for water first. Water is the source of life, which will help people go to Mars in the future. And studying the life of Mars itself is also helpful to the earth. Each planet has different characteristics at different times. By studying their characteristics, we can understand the origin of life, the origin and evolution of the solar system, and thus study the changing process of the earth's environment.

There are many signs that Mars is very much like the Earth, and it is the future of the Earth. The earth may become a state of Mars in billions of years, so we must prepare in advance. Humans can't survive in this state, so we must make it clear. Mars is very much like the earth. It rotates 24 hours a day and has four distinct seasons. There are more than 600 days a year when the atmosphere on Mars is thin. Why is the atmosphere on Mars thinner? There is a river on Mars. Where did the water in the river go? This phenomenon must never happen on earth in the future.
