The biannual magazine of the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS). "The Life Issue" focuses on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), a robotic rover named “Curiosity,” which is now on its way to the red planet. In this issue, you will find a discussion of what it is that makes a planet habitable, an overview of the MSL rover, and a review of Gale Crater - the landing site selected for this flagship mission. In addition to all that, we'll introduce you to the new SEDS-USA executive board and look back on the 2011 High-Powered Rocketry Competition.
