Thread: Three cheers for Perseverance! Successful landing at Jezero Crater!!

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!!
