Hello my friends,
After successful moon adventure the USA-NASA successfully landed to Mars, Unbelievable event that i ever seen. But I have some doubt about it. Because The technology is a main thing about this topic. If They Got actual landing on mars they still preparing it on the mars. My knowledgeable friends, give me some idea about it.

I decided to put this on a new line, so that you'll get a message about it.
What kind of information are you looking for, about mars?
For the basics, it's about 1/3 the size of earth, or 38%.
It has 2 moons going around it, Phobos and Deimos, neither are quite as round and perfect like our moon is, but rather seem like asteroids that were captured by Mars' gravity.
It's atmosphere is very thin, our atmosphere pressure is around 101 kpa, and on Mars, it's 0.6 kpa, and the majority, about 96% of that, is carbon dioxide.
It's average temperature is -70 degrees, celsius, but it can get as hot as 35 degrees, but also as cold as -160.
The surface of Mars is red, and that comes from it being an iron oxide, or the decomposition of iron.
Even though it has such a low temperature and low pressure, it still has weather. Dust storms, mainly, that are considered far more powerful then what we have on earth. It also has massive mountain ranges, some of which even defy earth's mountain ranges, even though it's so much smaller then us.
Another really interesting thing about Mars, is that it has formations on it, that from above, look like rivers and lakes. What these are, is still quite unknown, but it is possible, that at some point, Mars had a liquid running on it, maybe even liquid water, and with that, it may have had the necessary building blocks of basic life forms.
Anything else you'd like to know about Mars?

I hate to tell you, but it is not a live planet like earth.
Like I said, its atmosphere is extremely thin, it's just carbon dioxide (even the arctic poles it has, is frozen carbon dioxide) and that little atmosphere also lets in tonnes of radiation from the sun. There is still a chance, that mars had life, around 65 million years ago, and Curiousity will be checking for that. But today, the best life that it could possibly have, is just bacterial life, or even more basic then that.
So, no, the UFOs are not from mars. If UFOs are real, which has many showings that there are just that, unidentified flying objects, like meteors or balloons or variances in our atmosphere or airplanes we don't know about... but if they are really alien life from somewhere else, then they are not from Mars.

Something tells me that english isn't your first language, and it's difficult for me to understand just what you're asking... but I'll try.
Curiosity is the 3rd lander on mars, Spirit and Opportunity being the first. It's goal is to study what is inside mars, and trying to further understand the history of mars, from looking at the layers that time has left over.
There still isn't any full plans for landing people, or making civilization on mars. There are some private companies that are going after it, but it's not for sure, quite yet. I hope we can get there someday.

Thank you my Friend,
English is not our mother language but we can understand and manage it.
Also if you can provide me an additional information about Mars.

Here are a few videos explaining the functionality of curiosity:

Here is the detailed information about this planet:

Also, as far as Aliens are concerned, don't worry, even if they are there on Mars and even if NASA finds out something, they won't disclose it to us.
