I think this is awesome and never gets old.

Albeit, if the government funded other innovators out there like they did for Elon, we could be living on Mars now.........

Mars 2020: Perseverance Rover - NASA Science

Meet Perseverance Landing Site: Jezero Crater NASA chose Jezero Crater as the landing site for the Perseverance rover. Scientists believe the area was once flooded with water and was home to an ancient river delta. The process of landing site selection involved a combination of mission team...

I agree. The fact that we’re going to have a small helicopter on another planet is badass as well.

As long as you have ketchup and can grow potatoes out of your own shit, you’ll be fine.

Hopefully $20 USD will equate to baller status there

 

[TheNJNole]

Should we do place some action on whether or not this fvcker breaks up?

 

[Globalsaxophone]

Bumping post. Less than 25 mins to Mars atmosphere.

 

[TheNJNole]

Sounds like everything is a go....

 

[dirtytoeddawg]

So, what is this thing going to do on Mars?

 

[TheNJNole]

Hope those Martian hotties are ready to shag.....

Closer look at Uranus

Finally catching up to reality OP

 

[shiv]

This could have been me in 20 years, just change "the moon" to "Mars"

 

[Globalsaxophone]

Here we go

Lookin good

 

[TheNJNole]

Imagine, if there really is life on Mars, they are not happy with our arrival.

Will be like NYC or SF in a matter of years

 

[TheNJNole]

Touchdown confirmed. Hot damn

 

[shiv]

Boom

Remarkable....

And USPS can't tell me where my package that is a week late is at.

 

[shiv]

Are they going to try and breed these Rovers? Curiosity and Perseverance = the Mars version of Adam and Eve?

 

[Jayhacker]

And USPS can't tell me where my package that is a week late is at.

And we can't even run a legal election on this planet. Baffling.

 

[yankmenoodle]

I really don't understand why anyone cares what's on the moon or Mars. To me it's like the blind guy that climbed Mt. Everest.

 

[Shitbreak Mcgee]

So we sent another rover, just like the other rovers to dig around? If this thing can’t dig 3 to 4 feet into the ground what’s the damn difference? We need a damn real archaeological robot to go around there digging for shit that might actually matter.

[LaffertyDaniel]

how long does any radio or video transmissions take back to Earth I wonder

 

[GarnetPild]

how long does any radio or video transmissions take back to Earth I wonder

Probably from a few minutes to maybe 15-20, depending on where we are in our orbits...just a rough estimate, based off speed of light and distances off the top of my head.

 

[yankmenoodle]

I watched the lunar landing in 1969 with complete awe. Fifty years later, I work on the same street where the majority of that technology was developed, and they can't keep a fucking elevator working. It's a crock of shit.
