NASA counts down to dramatic Mars landing With a mixture of tense nerves and confidence, NASA counted down to the landing of its largest ever robotic rover on Mars, where it will search for signs that life may once have existed. NASA counting down to nail-biting Mars plunge The most high-tech rover NASA has ever designed was speeding toward Mars on Sunday to attempt an acrobatic landing on the planet's surface. NASA braces for "7 minutes of terror" Mars plunge NASA's most high-tech Mars rover on Sunday zeroed in on the red planet where it will attempt a tricky celestial gymnastics routine during a "seven minutes of terror" plummet through the atmosphere.
