It has the deepest canyons, the largest volcano, erratic temperatures and weather patterns. Mars was named after the Ancient Roman God of War. The Greeks called the planet Ares. The Romans and Greeks associated the planet with war because its colour resembles the colour of blood.

Can life exist on Mars? Scientists have thought it possible for life to exist on Mars, for a number of reasons. Although the planet Mars today might be a cold and barren place, NASA had discovered evidence that in the past it was a warm planet. Some believe that there was and still is evidence of water, and if the atmosphere was much warmer, then it would be possible to create a human-friendly environment to live in. On March a rock sample collected by NASA’s curiosity rover showed that the existence of life on Mars also appeared in the form of bacteria which is known as a microscopic life form. The curiosity rover drilled in to a sedimentary rock near an ancient steam bed in Gale crater and a sample of the powder from the drill meant that scientists have discovered nitrogen, sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and phosphorus. These key chemical elements show that there are similarities between Earth and Mars, hence increasing the probability of future life on Mars.

NASA’s future plans to explore Mars In January 2013, NASA announced its plan to launch a new robotic science rover for its next mission to Mars in The 2020 mission will constitute another step towards the agency’s top scientific priorities and President Obama’s challenge of sending humans to Mars orbit in the 2030s. This mission will address the potential for life on Mars, it will look for past signs of life. This mission will take the opportunity to gather more information and demonstrate technologies that address the challenges of future human expeditions to Mars. The new rover mission and launch is estimated to cost roughly US$1.5 billion, plus or minus $200 million, according to The Aerospace Corporation. NASA suggests it is the availability of spare parts that would make the new rover affordable on NASA's lean budget, having recently spent US$2.5 billion in total on the Mars Science Laboratory, its predecessor.
