Re: NASA Perseverance Rover is Landing on Mars Right Now

The rover carries a commemorative plate to honor COVID-19 healthcare workers and "pay tribute to the impact of the pandemic." 

 

It also carries the names of 10.9 million people on three microchips. I guess all they had to do was ask.

Re: NASA Perseverance Rover is Landing on Mars Right Now

I just finished watching the 2-hour lead up and touchdown on youtube.  It was awe-inspiring and I got a bit choked up. I think I might have liked to work in the NASA Mission Control Center to be a part of that. 

Wear a mask. Social distance. Be part of the solution - not part of the problem.
