No other planet is currently being explored as intensively as Mars. You can probably already guess why. Ever since U.S. entrepreneur Elon Musk entered the space business, Mars exploration and colonization has been a ubiquitous topic. But there's another reason we humans want to know more about the Red Planet: Our immediate neighboring planets can provide us with valuable clues about the fate of our own home, Earth. Since the early 2000s, NASA alone has sent ten probes to Mars. In addition, there are numerous other probes from the European Space Agency, the Japanese and the Russians. NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been in operation for about 15 years, and in this video we show you what it has found on Mars.
