| Perseverance on Mars Artist Conception of the Landing |
Despite COVID-19 the largest spaceship ever to land on Mars completed its complicated landing yesterday in dramatic fashion as the United States once again exhibited its technological dominance in the exploration of the Solar System.
Launched last year on July 30th at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the spacecraft landed on Mars yesterday after a descent which is what they call "seven minutes of terror." It became the 8th craft to successfully land on the surface of Mars and the fifth U.S. rover.
And, as they say in the gymnastics world, it stuck the landing!
Some excitement amid the deep winter storms and pandemic!
