By now, a rocket will have set off on its 35 million mile trip
to Mars and scientist must be waiting anxiously for the
result. The rocket will be travelling for six months before it
reaches the planet. It contains a number of specific
instruments, including a television camera. Any pictures
are successful; they may solve a number of problems
about Mars and provide information about the markings
on its surface which, nearly 100 years ago, the astronomer,
Schiaparelli, thought to be canals
It will be a long time before any landing on Mars can be
attempted. This will only possible when scientists have
learnt a lot more about the atmosphere that surrounds the
planet. If a satellite can one day be put into orbit about
Mars, scientist will be able to find out a great deal. An
interesting suggestion for measuring the atmosphere
around Mars has been put forward.
A rubber ball containing radio transmitter could be
dropped from the satellite so that it would fall towards the
surface of the planet. The radio would signal the rate at
which the ball was slowed down and scientists would be
able to calculate how dense the atmosphere is. It may
even be possible to drop a capsule containing scientific
instruments on the planet’s surface. Only when a great
deal more information has been obtained, will it be
possible to plan a manned trip to Mars.

Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England,
on February 12, 1809. He came from a wealthy family and
never had to work. He studied medicine and theology. In
1831 he graduated from University of Cambridge with a
degree of theology.
He began a career as a scientist quite by chance. On
December 27, 1831, 22 years old Charles Darwin joined
the crew of the HMS Beagle as a naturalist. The five years
expedition collected hydrographic, geologic, and
meteorological data from South America and many other
regions around the world. Darwin's own observation on
this voyage led to his theory of natural selection.
