00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:05,520
the largest rover ever sent to another

00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:07,919
planet landed in the middle of the night

00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:17,109
during her two earth-year primary

5
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:19,119
mission curiosity will tell us about

mars geology weather

00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:24,240
current radiation levels which are key

00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:27,519
to sending humans there someday

00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:29,920
the rover's laser will examine rocks and

10
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,559
help find places to take samples for the

11
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:34,480
on-board chemistry lab

12
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:37,200
that can identify minerals and organic

13
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:41,520
materials the building blocks of life

14
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:44,879
this nuclear-powered one-ton rover will

15
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:45,920
take us

16
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:49,120
ever closer to examining deep layers of

17
00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:51,760
history and perhaps closer

18
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,039
to an answer

19
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,360
to the ancient question

00:01:00,330 --> 00:00:57,440
was there ever life
