The ship was the largest at its time, but we now have many others that are way bigger than the Titanic.

The whole aim behind the mission is to explore the climate on Mars along with learning about other things such as the role of water. Curiosity has spent 2889 days on the planet, and it’s still there. NASA is planning to launch another rover to carry different scientific devices. In this photo, you can see Curiosity next to a person.
