    How many people did it take to make the mars rover possible?

    • Two very smart people

    • A few thousand not so smart people

    • 700-750 people

    • A few hundred people

    • 99999999999999 people

    Correct Answer
    A. A few hundred people
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "a few hundred people." This suggests that it took a team of several hundred individuals to make the Mars rover possible. The answer options "two very smart people" and "a few thousand not so smart people" can be disregarded as they do not align with the idea of a team effort. The option "700-750 people" is close, but "a few hundred people" is a more general estimate that could encompass a range around 700-750. The option "99999999999999 people" is clearly an exaggerated and unrealistic number.

    • 10 feet diameter

    • 2.5 meters diameter

    • 1 meter diameter

    • 2 inches- light and portable

    • 3 meters diameter

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.5 meters diameter
    Explanation
    The Mars rover is 2.5 meters in diameter. This means that the rover has a width of 2.5 meters, or approximately 8.2 feet. The diameter measurement is important because it gives us an idea of the size and scale of the rover. A diameter of 2.5 meters indicates that the rover is quite large and can carry out various tasks and experiments on the Martian surface.

    • To find water

    • To locate possible life

    • To prove aliens exist

    • Test the soil

    • Find metal

    Correct Answer
    A. To find water
    Explanation
    The purpose of the rover is to find water. This implies that the main objective of the rover's mission is to search for and identify the presence of water on the target planet or location. The rover may be equipped with instruments and tools specifically designed for water detection, such as spectrometers or drills to analyze the composition of the soil and search for signs of water molecules or ice.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Solar energy
    A. Battery
    Explanation
    The energy source of the Mars rover includes solar energy and batteries. Solar energy is obtained from the sun through solar panels, which convert sunlight into electrical energy to power the rover's operations. Additionally, batteries are used to store and provide backup power when the sun is not available, such as during the night or in areas with low sunlight. The options of nuclear fusion, wind power, and Duracell are incorrect as they are not utilized as energy sources for the Mars rover.

This satellite acts as a relay station, receiving data from the rover and then transmitting it back to Earth. By using this satellite as an intermediary, the rover is able to send information across the vast distance between Mars and Earth, allowing scientists and engineers to receive valuable data and updates from the rover's activities on the Martian surface.
