Take a few minutes to watch this amazing simulation of the journey of Curiosity. No narration is needed, just a sense of wonder and amazement as you feast your eyes on this marvel that science has made happen.
One of the several purposes of this mission is to get us ready to send a manned expedition to Mars for exploration. Another is to see if there was ever life on Mars. Both of these things pique our curiosity as humans, and as you watch this think about how this mission may truly open up a new chapter of exploration on the red planet.
