You Can Drive Around Mars With NASA's Curiosity Simulator


















Want to explore the surface of the red planet without signing up for the Mars One mission? No problem: NASA has built two interactive web applications that will let you explore the planet to your heart's content from the comfort of your armchair.

If you're in the mood for something a little more personal, you can take the controls of NASA's latest Mars rover with Experience Curiosity. This is no mere map -- this is a Curiosity simulator with manual drive controls, multiple camera view angles and a guided tour of both the rover itself and narrated lessons about the area of Mars it explored. Both tools are designed to work in any web browser and are completely free to use and play with.
