This [space] serves as an ongoing dedication to the late Carl Sagan. I will frequently update this page with all things Sagan, science & cosmos-related, in support of scientific literacy & understanding amongst the ever-increasing hominid population on our organic spaceship, Earth. Keep looking up & remember: we are all star stuff, contemplating the stars, as our origins exist within the cosmos. May this page bring you closer to your own individual enlightenment, further your knowledge of the universe & allow you to achieve wisdom & connectivity toward all living things for which we all share the same biological, chemical & atomic makeup. |

The nuclear-powered rover won’t land using rockets or airbags like past Mars missions. Instead, NASA has built a rocket-propelled sky crane that will hover over the Martian surface and lower the $2.5 billion rover to the Red Planet’s surface. Learn all about how the Mars rover’s landing will work in the SPACE.com infographic above, then check out the following Mars rover mission features.
