Is there life on any other planet besides Earth? Space agencies around the world including the American space agency NASA are busy searching for it. But now a shocking news has come to light. NASA says that they have samples of rocks from Mars, in which signs of life can be found, but we cannot bring them back to Earth. Because a lot of money has to be spent on this. We have no plans to spend that much money, so we have sought help from the private sector to bring back the samples.
NASA officials said that the agency’s Perseverance Rover has been exploring the surface of the Red Planet for more than three years. He has collected samples of rock and soil of Mars. From the investigation so far, we are hopeful that there may be evidence of life hidden in it. But it is very difficult to bring back this evidence. 11 billion dollars will have to be spent to bring the samples to Earth. This method is very expensive and quite complex. Therefore, help from the private sector has been sought.
Update on #SamplingMars: I recently collected my 24th sample from an area called “Bunsen Peak” (named for the @YellowstoneNPS landmark). The rock core is filled with silica and carbonate. https://t.co/PJeNVCluNV pic.twitter.com/6Oi12jeNJ0
