I would imagine that would be tricky in the thin atmosphere.

I hope whoever thought of that idiotic ‘sky crane’ concept is not designing this.

Mars 2020 will also collect rock samples and store them inside sealed tubes for retrieval by a future mission that will return them to Earth.

Why wouldn't the future mission collect their own rocks? It's not like they will be somewhere with different rocks - since they have to go there to pick them up.
