SPACE EXPEDITION by Max L., age 10, Norwalk, CT USA
NASA‘s (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) science rover “Curiosity” landed inside an ancient crater on Mars.
“Curiosity” beamed back images from the Martian surface. This voyage took more than eight months and crossed 352 million miles.
USA President Barack Obama stated, “…an unprecedented feat of technology that will stand as a point of national pride far into the future. It proves that even the longest of odds are no match for our unique blend of ingenuity and determination.”
“Curiosity” is designed to spend the next two years exploring the crater and surrounding areas where it landed.
