Eng311: A trip to Mars
Mars is the fourth planet. People call it the red planet. Because it is covered with red rocks.It's about helf as big as Earth. It's got 2 moons. There are huge valcanoss there.By now, a rocket will have set off on its 350 million mile trip to Mars and scientists must be waiting for nine months before it reaches the planet. It contains a number of scientific instrument, including a television camera. Any pictures that are taken will have to travel for three weeks before they reach the earth. If the pictures are successful they may solve a number of problems about Mars and provide information about the marking on its surface which, nearly 100 years ago, the astronomer, schiaparelli, thought to be canals.
