National Geographic Live—Exploring MARS

NASA Engineer Kobie Boykins gives an up-to-the-minute report on the latest discoveries on the red planet. Boykins has played a key role in Mars exploration for more than a decade.

As supervisor of the mobility and remote sensing teams for the rover Curiosity, Boykins has monitored headline-making studies, including proof of the former presence of water on Mars, indicating that our planetary neighbor could have supported life.
