Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik discuss with Dr. Jim Bell of Arizona State University the challenges facing NASA's Mars Sample Return program and the recently canceled VIPER mission to the moon. These missions are crucial for understanding the surfaces of Mars and the Moon, particularly their potential resources like water.
Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all ages, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with Dr. Jim Bell about the Mars Sample Return program and VIPER mission to the moon.
We need to know more about the surface of Mars -- with direct, in-the-lab studies of Mars rocks - -and we certainly need to understand where the volatiles -- another name for water and other resources of value -- are on the moon. And, if you're the US government, you'd like to do both before China does -- which is likely not far off.
