I remember it was hard to believe that I was taking a step onto the lunar surface.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Mars has been flown by, orbited, smacked into, radar examined, and rocketed onto, as well as bounced upon, rolled over, shoveled, drilled into, baked and even blasted. Still to come: Mars being stepped on.
