Gears And Gadgets: Information You Should Know Involving The Mars Landing This Sunday

Technology is always evolving, and sometimes it's hard to keep up. Here at Gears and Gadgets, we'll discuss all the latest innovations in technology and science, and we'll give you links to people who know even more about the subject.

Today on Gears and Gadgets, I'd like to throw a little knowledge at your face for the revolutionary mars landing that is happening TOMORROW. Just to get you a little informed, and links to where you can get more info and links to where you can watch it live.

The Curiosity Rover was sent out into our vast universe 8 and a half months ago. And tomorrow, the world will witness the last leg of it's journey and most importantly, the 7 minutes of terror.

Basically, when you are trying to land a rover the size of a car that was going 13,000 mph on a planet is quite difficult. And there are many complications that arise when you try to do something like this. And it's also not like you are just testing out this thing, and it's really not all that bad if it fails. If this mission fails you can kiss $2.5 billion down the drain.

That is a lot of money, and this is a very scary mission indeed.

But it is also a very necessary, vital, and ground-breaking mission as well considering this is the first of it's kind. Yes, we have put rovers on Mars before, but never like this. This is the largest rover to ever be put on another planet. And it's also the scariest and most expensive one as well.

It is scary because of that little thing I mentioned earlier. The thing that was dubbed by NASA scientists as the "7 minutes of terror." 

Here is a quick video that explains the 7 minutes of terror.

Now you see this isn't an easy task at all.

The mission as explained by NASA is to search for "ancient habitable environments." They will be looking for signs of life like water, and atmospheric tendencies and such things that make a planet, um, livable.

This mars mission is not like anything else. And I would like to invite you to join the rest of the world in watching this unfold. Click here to go to NASA TV where the landing will be broadcasted live. Information on what time it will be for where you are is on the website.

Let's watch this historic event take place, together.
