A rover targets life on Mars this week on planetary radio.

Welcome, I'm at Kaplan of the Society, with more of a human adventure across our solar

system and beyond.

We now know where the 2020 rover will land on the Red Planet. NASA made the announcement on Monday, November 19th,

exactly one week before another spacecraft descends to Mars.

I have in front of me your blog entry at planetary.org for November 12th and you have all of this in detail and you include this

neat little graphic that you created that that traces what we can expect.

It's always a challenge to put together all the bits and pieces of

information that come out from different sources and so I love to just assemble these

infographics that have every last detail on it and then I share them out into

the world for the benefit of everybody else who has the same problem I did.

Our friend, Rob Manning, the man who knows more about putting things down softly on the surface of bars than I think any other human has this great video which you have a

link to from the blog post but even the audio is so good I mean the video is great

as well because it's like a combination of a wipe-off, transparent wipe-off board and
