Research Scientist Alexis Rodriguez and his colleagues at the Planetary Science Institute have put forward a new model for the ancient formation of lakes and seas on the Red Planet. If their theory is correct, it may help us find evidence of past life on Mars. Emily Lakdawalla reports on the latest Chinese space exploration success. Bill Nye likes the proposal to put a humanoid robot on the Moon, and you can put on your dancing shoes for this week's Random Space Fact, with a chance to win a Chop Shop Beyond Earth" t-shirt in the new space trivia contest."
