Best Answer

The Mars Rover is important because they wanted to see if there's life on Mars. Also they wanted examples of the rocks and sand to see if people can live in Mars.

It was put up there to show people what the surface of Mars looks like, and to find mineral deposits that show if there is or has been any water on Mars.
