NASA Open API Key

This app uses the NASA Open API to get and load pictures of Rovers from Mars. To use the API, you will need to generate API key. See the NASA Open API for instructions.

Once you have the key, add the key to the Constants file (~/utills/Constants)

 const val API_KEY = "DEMO_KEY" // Replace with API keys

The app is still usable with default API key
