Journey to the mysterious Red Planet with SPACE.com correspondent Dave Brody to learn about its history.
The history of Mars science is a story full of false starts and good ideas gone wrong. Through it all, scientists have perservered in the effort to separate fact from fiction, and to understand Mars as a place that is similar to, but different from, Earth.
