NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Wednesday began driving from its landing site, which has been named “Bradbury Landing” after the late author Ray Bradbury. Making its first movement on the Martian surface, Curiosity’s test drive positioned the rover roughly 20 feet (6 meters) from the spot where it landed 16 days ago. It also left behind its first set of tracks, which in between zigzags, included the coded mark of its maker.
