And the plan is getting closer and closer as they build the puzzle that will make the mission successful. Space agencies and private investors has been putting billions of dollars to fulfill the mission even if it’s still set to occur in over a decade.

But when NASA scientists Ken Zahnle said that, “I am convinced that they are really are seeing methane. But I’m thinking that it has to be coming from the rover,” he spark confusion among believers and non-believers.
