Astrobiologist Dr. Lewis Dartnell talks from the Atacama Desert about a research trip to find extremophiles that might give scientists some clues as to the kind of life that may exist on the surface of Mars. Lewis shows how quartz can act as a natural sunscreen to enable cyanobacteria to grow in the dry desert...
Dr. Mark Woods explains how the rover technologies must be partly autonomous, since the signals from Earth to Mars take too long for every command to be send from Earth. The technologies developed for space, also have applications on Earth.
