    This is why nasa needs more funding. Imagine what they could do with the military’s funding. We’d be decades ahead in technology!

    curiosity: who are you? perseverance: I am you. But stronger
  • They need to send a centipede or Boston Dynamics "dog" to explore caves on Mars on the next rover. If they sent Spot, they could call the rover "Rover".

    This mission is if like someone had a crazy kerbal mission idea and hired thousands of people to help them with it.
  • @DTHRocket
    I helped assemble and test the sample handling arm. Super cool feeling, hope it makes it to Mars!

    the name of the crater "jezero" means literally "lake" in many slavic languages :) just a side note.

    Since we Called opportunity "oppy"' lets call this one"percy'
  • I remember Spirit and Opportunity landing in 2004 and I even remember Pathfinder when it was active on Mars 23years ago.
  • I love the idea of the Ingenuity drone, but I cannot wait for the Dragonfly mission to Titan in the future.

    Does perseverance sing “Happy Birthday” like Curiosity? Edit : Question Mark
  • Hey Tim u are like my real mentor. You inspired me to study real hard in 10th to get science and I really want to join ISRO (Indian space research organisation) after college. Thank you for Bringing down space on earth
  • Perserverance lands on mars Curiosity: “huh, who are you ?” Perseverance: “I’m you, but newer” Curiosity: “wait, :0”
  • @Ekstrax
    My favourite thing to look forward to right now is the feel of relief when Perseverance lands safely!
