After initially cutting budgets deeply, the White House is freeing up a little more money for NASA.

A Dutch company is looking for people willing to be part of an expedition to Mars. The catch? You won't be coming back -- ever!

With the help of a cool mohawk-wielding mission controller, NASA was able to successfully navigate the Curiosity rover onto Mars. NASA’s been to Mars before, but this trip is making history.

After an eight month journey, NASA’s multi-billion dollar rover Curiosity made a successful landing on Mars early this morning. Mission controllers cheered after the six-wheeled, one-ton machine made a perilous seven-minute landing involving a parachute, rocket pack and sky crane.

Early Monday morning, NASA’s $2.5 billion Curiosity rover safely landed on Mars after eight months of interplanetary travel. The car-sized, one-ton rover now begins a two-year mission of exploration and discovery as it roams the surface of the red planet.
