(CNN) -- A robotic voyager has started an interplanetary cruise after
almost two weeks of delays, joining four other ships that will attempt
to unlock the secrets of the red planet, including whether it ever
held life.

The craft, a six-wheel NASA rover, thundered into the night sky over
the Florida coast late Monday, riding atop a Delta rocket launched
from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
