June/July 2003 - Mars Rovers
In 2003, Mars came closer to Earth than it had in thousands of years. Taking advantage of this, the Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, were launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida and headed towards the planet to study the history of environmental conditions that may have been wet and favored evidence of life.
