Indiana native to give talk on exploration of Mars | News | indianagazette.com
An Indiana native who works at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., will share his behind-the-scenes experiences in planning a mid-2020 exploratory mission to Mars for an audience next week in Indiana.
Mark Jesick, an aerospace engineer at the lab, will talk about the importance of the scheduled July mission to Mars, explain the science behind the flight and tell what NASA hopes to discover on the Red Planet.

It's only half the diameter of Earth, but astronomers and past satellite missions have discovered a mountain higher than Mount Everest, a valley longer than the Grand Canyon and a crater larger that any on Earth.
New Mars photos show how colorful the Red Planet can be - Houston Chronicle
More than a dozen new photos taken thousands of feet above the Martian surface show how eerily Earth-like yet pleasantly alien Mars exactly is.
The photos were taken onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been transmitting photos of the fourth planet's surface back to Earth since 2006. Chron.com featured photos from the orbiter’s run in 2018, and now it’s back with a new set of photos captured in November.
UFO sighting: NASA photo of bizarre B-shaped Mars base '100 percent proof of alien
The conspiracy theorist speculated how the B might be an entire word in their language or an important symbol.
Although the letter ‘B’ represents many things on planet Earth, the UFO enthusiast does not believe it means ‘B’.
Waring proceeded to use sophisticated imaging software to enhance the bizarre Mars anomaly spotted in an enormous Gigapan panoramic photograph.

Getting to Mars: The latest on the production of SpaceX's 'Starship' rocket | FOX
COCOA, Fla. - Ambitious and shiny: SpaceX is building the Starship rocket to bring colonists to the Moon and Mars.
In 2020, the company said that they will dial back work at the Cocoa factory because of the progress in Boca Chica, Texas. Earlier this month, a SpaceX boat, called 'Go Discovery,' set sail with the rocket bulkhead and other components on board, leaving Port Canaveral for Texas.
Space Florida executive Dale Ketcham told FOX 35 News that later phases of the project could see new activity at Cocoa and staffing back up. He added that "part of their appeal and success has been in not having a standing army like we were used to with government contractors, they’re lean, they’re agile, they work their people very hard."
NASA's Decade in Space: The Highs and Lows of the US Space Agency's 2010s | Space
In its human spaceflight program, the agency retired the space shuttle and is now close to launching humans to space again, this time on commercial crew vehicles. NASA also changed its long-term destination for humans a few times; currently the agency is targeting the moon and Mars.
Meanwhile, NASA robots flew through interstellar space, imaged thousands of planets and sent reams of scientific data back to researchers. Here are some of the agency's milestones over the last 10 years.

Mars also found immediate success with his Atlantic Records’ debut single, 'Just The Way You Are' from his album 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans' as the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Another song, “Grenade”, also topped the charts. Meanwhile, his second album, released in 2012, 'Unorthodox Jukebox' contained the single, 'Locked Out of Heaven' and it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for over six weeks in 20 countries.
Mars has sold over 130 million records worldwide, which makes him one of the best selling artists of all time. He constantly stays on the road performing as Billboard named the singer’s tour the fourth highest-grossing of 2018, tallying more than $237 million for 100 shows. Earlier this year, Mars announced that he would venture to Sin City to play series of select dates at the Park MGM in Las Vegas.
3D Print a Piece of Mars for the Holidays - UT News
AUSTIN, Texas — There's a galaxy of gifts out there for space nerds. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin may have just the thing to set your present apart: a model of Jezero Crater, the landing site of NASA's upcoming Mars 2020 Rover mission, that you can 3D print yourself.
"The delta is the main feature of interest, and getting a sense of how it's spread across the landscape is really, really interesting," said Tim Goudge, an assistant professor at the UT Jackson School of Geosciences and the lead advocate for Jezero as the Mars 2020 landing site.
