Sols 2587-2589: Curiosity De-Butte – NASA's Mars Exploration Program
After the “butte-iful” location and view of sols 2585-2586 , Curiosity descended back down from its perch on “Central butte” and skirted its steep side. The rover now has another butte in view—“Western butte”—in the accompanying image. Little by little, Curiosity is climbing higher, toward the edge of “Greenheugh pediment.”
On the final day of the weekend plan, Curiosity will advance 20 meters, after which it will take Navcam images of its new surroundings. The rover will then compute a ChemCam target, using the AEGIS software, which will then direct the instrument to shoot a 3x3 raster on it. Finally, Mastcam will take a sunset tau observation, and the rover will radio home with a large bundle of new data.
Veteran rover scientist: Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids – GeekWire
If anyone has a sense of the lay of the land on the Red Planet, it'd be Squyres. So what does he think of the idea of setting up permanent cities on Mars?
"My take on this one is no, I don't think so," Squyres said here today at Penn State University during the ScienceWriters 2019 conference .
He's not opposed to sending people to Mars. Far from it. "Human research base? Absolutely, as soon as possible," Squyres said. It's even possible that super-rich tourists will want to travel to Mars and back, he said.
NASA news: Mars 'suit of the future' will work 'like second skin' for
The Bio-Suit is an experimental space activity suit under construction at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the direction of professor Dava Newman , with support from the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts .

She said last year: “So the Bio Suit is an MIT patented suit of the future, it’s a space suit for the Moon or Mars.
“I’m trying to give you, as an astronaut, maximum mobility, flexibility, it’s going to be extreme exploration when we get to Mars.

Humans can land on Mars by 2035, NASA chief says | Fox News
NASA chief Jim Bridenstine has doubled down on his claim that the space agency will be able to land humans on Mars in the 2030s, going so far as to say it could even be done by the middle of that decade.
"If we are accelerating the moon landing, we are accelerating the Mars landing," Bridenstine, NASA's Administrator, said during a panel discussion at the International Astronautical Congress, according to Space.com .

On Thursday, Oct. 17, 2019, NASA says the drilling device has penetrated three-quarters of an inch (2 centimeters) over the past week, after hitting a snag seven months ago. While just a baby step, scientists are thrilled with the progress. (NASA/JPL-Caltech via AP)
NASA might bring pieces of Mars to Earth in a Darth Vader helmet | Fox News
WASHINGTON — Scientists studying Mars have wanted pieces of the Red Planet here on Earth for decades, and they are finally getting their shot at designing a mission to acquire such souvenirs.
The Apollo program's legacy of carefully collected moon rocks here on Earth reshaped the science of the moon and Earth alike. A Mars sample-return mission could offer the same sort of potential, but the Red Planet is a more daunting target than the moon.
Apollo astronaut investigates massive landslide on Mars - CNN
(CNN) About 47 years ago, Harrison Schmitt became the only scientist to ever walk on the moon. Now, the geologist and professor is studying an extensive landslide on Mars, almost 250 miles wide, that formed about 400 million years ago.
NASA chief says the first human on Mars may be a woman
When NASA sends humans to the moon for the first time in more than half a century, one lucky astronaut will go down in history for becoming the first woman on the moon. Then it won't be long before we see the first woman on Mars, and she just might beat the first man there, according to NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.
"We could very well see the first person on Mars be a woman," Bridenstine told reporters on Friday (Oct. 18) during a news conference about the first all-woman spacewalk . "I think that could very well be a milestone," he added.
