Explore More About Mars Right From Earth Through NASA’s Be a Martian Game
Mars – The word take us on astronomy world. Over the years we read and heard many new discoveries on Mars but our forgetful mind can’t take those for long time. If you really eager to explore more about Mars then it will come to an end or it’s better to say it will come in more organize way with NASA’s Be a Martian Game.
Before starting my talk on Martian Game lets learn little bit about Mars.
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. The planet is one of Earth’s “next-door neighbors” in space. Earth is the third planet from the sun, and Jupiter is the fifth. Like Earth, Jupiter, the sun, and the remainder of the solar system, Mars is about 4.6 billion years old. – NASA
Now something about NASA’s Be a Martian game:
The Be a Martian site is a collaboration between NASA and Microsoft that uses the tool of crowsourcing to sift through the hundreds of thousands of photos sent back by Mars rovers and orbiters. The format of the site is much like a game, where you complete tasks to earn points and badges.
There is a forum on the site where one can ask questions, vote on questions and make comments to earn “Curiosity Points”. NASA Mars experts will read the questions to see what the virtual Martian community is interested, and will host town hall-type meetings in the future where members can participate.
For games and videos you need to have Microsoft’s Silverlight 3.0 or higher application to work for this site.
If you need to know more about Mars then you can go to Google Mars Lab or Mars World Book by Nasa.

This is great! I’ve watched a documentary about Mars not long ago but it’s so sad there’s still no trace of life there except water.

It’s good to see we are only intelligent living creature because if there is more then there will be more wars. You know what intelligent creature more tend to show there power than others.
I love seeing traditional companies and organizations literally get into the game. This is one way to become relevant again in an age that has so many outlets competing for our time.
