The NASA scientists are feeling very exited this last days. The mission Curiosity, has sent the initial cosmic radiation readings, these suggests that the level of radiation in Mars is quite the same as the radiation on the International Space Station, therefore bearable (tolerable) for humans to survive. the question we must ask now is, how long would take for the scientist to put an astronaut in the Martian surface.
The mission is a complete success but they weren´t expecting such a great discovery. This can be consider as a great scientific breakthrough because this opens a possibility that the red planet could be safe for human life.
This mission saw its first drafts 10 years ago when the grandson of Curiosity, "The Pathfinder", hit the Martian ground and managed to transmit over 30 seconds of the Martian landscape. The engineering giant lip from the Pathfinder to the Curiosity, represents a promise, thet may belong to the fiction but it becomes a reality more and more plausible when we realise that the red plane surface may be "fine". Is this a real science breakthrough? Is it really a good idea to start looking for another planets to live in?
