It was January 4, 2004 when NASA's Spirit set down on Mars and took some incredible images of it's surroundings, including the image featured in this post.

We've sent astronauts to the moon in the past but the very thought of sending them to Mars is still a little more like science-fiction that scientific research!

The image above is an official image taken of the surface of Mars by NASA. The image shows just what the surface of the thought-to-be barren planet looks like. Those concepts of the planet being barren are now being questioned by one science blogger however, who took it upon himself to zoom in to the image just about as far as he could.

Never thought you'd see humans colonize Mars in your lifetime? You still might not if you're in your 60s or older. But for us young breeds who still have a chance at a life worth living, we might actually see the colonization of Mars by our own homosapien brethren. And by see, I mean watch on TV.

NASA's Curiosity rover will be launching on its mission to Mars on November 25th. The Curiosity rover is the most advanced rover ever sent on a Mars mission.

The Mars Opportunity Rover has sent back an amazing color photo of the Martian landscape around the Endeavor crater.

Some interesting new photography has been analyzed by researchers -- who think it could be evidence of seasonal salt water on Mars.

The fine folks over at the Jet Propulsion Lab have put together a video showing us what the landing of the 'Curiosity' rover will look like.

The Mars 'Spirit' rover, having been silent for over a year, appears to finally be officially dead.

Take a good, long look at this incredible panoramic image of the undisturbed (apart from the rover) surface of Mars.
