NERD ALERT! Is there Life on Mars?

mars The robot, Curiosity, was recently sent on a mission to Mars, to answer the question, “Is there Life on Mars?”  Or, more accurately, “Is Mars capable of sustaining life?” Using a robot the size of a car, Curiosity will dig through layers of rock to discover if Mars was ever capable of supporting life.  If you’re really a nerd, you’ll click the awesome video below.

What could be more nerdy than $2.5 billion dollar robots, Mars, and David Bowie (who is not taking part in this mission, despite previously claiming to be a Spaceman and authoring many space-themed songs)?!  I wonder if the aliens will look like Ziggy?
