The Mars rover Perseverance lands today.
Thanks to forethought by my earlier self, I got a “boarding pass” for this rover! My name is going to take a rideabout on Mars today! Want to add your name to a future mission? Do that here.
Watch the mission:
Why is this mission cool? I mean, aside from the fact that it’s LANDING ON MARS.
Tomorrow we land a rover on another planet. It's carrying an experiment that'll produce oxygen from the carbon dioxide FOR FUTURE ASTRONAUTS TO BREATHE AND USE AS FUEL TO RETURN. It cannot be overstated how incredible this is: It's A MISSION FOR THE FUTURE OF SPACE EXPLORATION. pic.twitter.com/q7jy6QCwnw
