... Now in 2004 a new Mars exploration is underway. NASA has launched two rovers into orbit around Mars in the hope that at least one will have a successful landing on Mars. Scientists point out that a Mars landing is very tricky, and in fact there have been more Mars missions so far that have failed th ...
