From the article: "The project to design and build a European rover to send to Mars has passed an important milestone. Engineers have demonstrated a vented, or dead-beat, airbag technology that could be used to cushion the vehicle's landing on the Red Planet. An effective entry, descent and landing system will be critical to the success of the ExoMars mission, as it is known."

There have been claims that warming on Mars and Pluto are proof that the recent warming on Earth is caused by an increase in solar activity, and not by greenhouses gases. But we can say with certainty is that even if Mars, Pluto or any other planets have warmed in recent years, it is not due to changes in solar activity.

Global warming may not be caused by humanity's fossil fuel emissions, but could be due to changes in the Sun. Research suggests that the magnetic flux from the Sun more than doubled this century. As solar magnetism is closely linked with sunspot activity and the strength of sunlight reaching Earth, the increase could have produced warming in the g
