Curiosity Lands on Mars

Curiosity, is the name of a one-tonne unmanned vehicle of NASA. Their amazing achievement was when curiosity landed perfectly on Mars. How Curiosity landed perfectly was complicated. But it is like arrowing at a target that one hundred thousand kilometres away.

The most significant about Curiosity's mission was that the people on Earth will finally get to know if life ever existed on Mars( Curiosity's primary mission). Because, like it says in the article: " Curiosity is well named because its primary mission is to try to help answer a question that has puzzled people on Earth for centuries: has there ever been life on the Red Planet (Mars)". Right now curiosity is doing its mission to help, if curiosity finds out about it. It would be more than winning the lottery for mankind. Curiosity is a major help to science.

The fact that curiosity's mission is to last at least two years. I think that the chemical building blocks needed to support primitive organisms, (such as carbon nitrogen , phosphorus, sulfur and oxygen) that curiosity needs to find, is probably really hard to find since curiosity needs to drill in to Martian rocks and examine some of the planet's famous red soil carefully, that will take a long time, and the mission it takes at least two years. Also it is probably one of the most difficult mission since the mission is to found out about something that has puzzled people on earth for centuries so it must be extremely hard. Curiosity has an very important mission to do.

If Curiosity finds valuable sources, it would be a gigantic step to mankind.  It would upgrade science with so many new information. Science would be more interesting and more experiments awaiting. It would technically change the world. With all the new information that Curiosity brings to us, we would be able to learn more, and change the feature of science and the world. Curiosity will be the most famous invention, ever.

NASA has built the most successful invention so far, hopefully Curiosity will successfully complete it's mission. Good luck Curiosity!
