    It launched a rover named curiosity to mars. It will take 8 and a half months to travel the 354 million mile journey. Curiosity will hunt for organic compounds to see if there was/is life on mars. One thing that we found interesting was that Curiosity is powered by 10.6 pounds of radioactive plutonium.

    NASA plans to reach Mars by next summer using the spaceship named "Curiosity". They are hoping to learn whether or not Mars is consistent of having life on that planet. The journey is expected to take about 8.5 months and it is about 354 million miles.

    @Matthew and Bryant:
    What is radioactive plutonium? Since it powers Curiosity it is kind of important to know and we were all confused.
