A new free Xbox game gives anyone the chance to steer through seven minutes of terror and attempt to safely land NASA’s newest rover, the Mars Science Laboratory.
MSL, which is scheduled to touch down on the Red Planet the night of Aug. 5, is a car-sized nuclear-powered rover designed to search for signs of life on Mars, past or present. It is the largest robot that engineers can currently land on the Martian surface and its descent from space includes a complex list of events that have to happen perfectly to ensure success.
