We choose to land on Mars because of its weather conditions,atmosphere,and it's distance from earth. We decided that would be our best option we hope to learn more about the planet and its conditions for human life. We should explore there because the earth might get too hot and we would need an evacuation planet
We would need parachutes because in order to Land Rover we would need an extremely soft landing and a parachute would do the trick. The parachute works when the canopy(the top of a parachute) catches air which would slow the parachute down causing drag
