Now we can hope for some very serious analyses of potential past life on the Red Planet!
What are they going to find in the lake-bed in Jezero Crater?
The dry lake-bed it landed in is expected to have rocks dating back 3.5 bya. Major opportunity here.
And how will that helicopter work out?! Way cool!
Very exciting that we have a soft landing and appear ready for amazing new discoveries!!
