    Quotes from History

    Mount Sharp is the only place we can currently access on Mars where we can investigate this transition in one stratigraphic sequence... the hope of this mission is to find evidence of a habitable environment; the promise is to get the story of an important environmental breakpoint in the deep history of the planet.

    John Grotzinger, Former Chief Scientist of the Curiosity mission
