Product Description

Humankind has always been fascinated by Mars, one of the planets closest to us-and seemingly most like us.
From the Renaissance, when astronomical observations of Mars helped establish that Earth was not, in fact, the centre of the universe and thus laid the groundwork of modern science, to the summer of 1997 when NASA'S Mars Pathfinder mission transmitted spectacular images from it's surface, the red planet has held us in grip.
