With the amount of hardware that is either on the red planet, on it's way there or in the planning stages, the theme of this talk has moved on from being purely about the Curiosity rover. The human race has been fascinated by Mars for centuries and studying it for decades. What is happening there right now; what are the next steps in the exploration of the only other candidate in what is known as the 'Goldilox Zone'? What can Mars tell us about Earth's future and is there a long term goal here? This talk involves videos and stunning images, with the final section in 3D.
