This is a cool thing. I hope you get to see and do some cool stuff (outside and within the realms of what geology allows)

Thank you I hope so to! Perseverance is currently exploring a delta, where an ancient river once emptied into an ancient lake, and looking for signs of life. It's taking rock samples that will be returned to Earth which will allow the first definitive analysis for evidence of life on Mars.

It’s made to think that 80oC years ago. People were saying if humans were supposed to fly god would have given us wings. Now we are driving a little robot around remotely collecting samples on another world. That got there by being launched out of our atmosphere.
