Ask Dr. C is a computerized scientist designed to answer questions
about Mars. Dr. C has thousands of questions stored in his memory and is very knowledgeable. Feel free to ask him any questions about the Red Planet. Dr. C does have some limitations on responses, and he may not have the answer your looking for, but if Dr. C does not have the answer to your question, the answer will soon be added to his memory. Dr. C
is based on a real Mars scientist, Dr. Phil Christensen. Go to to http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/drc to interact with Dr. C. and ask him your questions about Mars!
The Mars Exploration Program is a science-driven program that seeks to understand whether Mars was, is, or can be, a habitable world. To find out, we need to understand how geologic, climatic, and other processes have worked to shape Mars and its environment over time, as well as how they interact today. Mars is similar to Earth in many ways, having many of the same "systems" that characterize our home world. Like Earth, Mars has an atmosphere, a hydrosphere, a cryosphere and a lithosphere. In other words, Mars has systems of air, water, ice, and geology that all interact to produce the Martian environment. What we don't know yet is whether Mars ever developed or maintained a biosphere: an environment in which life could thrive. http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov
