Explore Mars  
With the Rough Scientists exploring the challenges of space travel we thought we would give you a closer look at the red planet - Mars, our nearest neighbour.

This click and discover interactive explores the history of the exploration and study of Mars, and takes you on a whirlwind tour of the planet's surface. Will we find life? Is there water on the surface? How would visiting humans survive? We cannot guarantee you'll find the answers to all these questions here, but it should get you thinking...

Click here to launch the interactive, it will appear in a new window. (You'll need the latest version of Flash to view this 100 Kb download)

After exploring Mars, why not discover the courses the Open University offers and take your curiosity further?
