The last classic nasa expedition before china takes over the moon, mars, and the belt, and cuts off access
I hope it goes well, but this is outside of NASA’s area of expertise... muslim outreach.
“The last classic nasa expedition before china takes over the moon, mars, and the belt, and cuts off access”
Sadly, I agree.
Since I am an independent contractor, I’m taking the morning off to watch the livestream.
I really hope it’s just like Curiosity’s landing...a success. After the last 2 days, I can really use some good news.
Thanks for the reminder! Lost track of what day this is!
Thanks again!

He he he Good one!

AMEN! Power has been on about 14 hours here! Hoping we have power to watch the landing!
I hope the Martians are friendly!
Hopefully Marvin won’t be able to find his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
Oh, I forgot all about the Marvin risk!
In touting the plans of NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) to someday launch a rover to Jezero Crater designed to pick up the cached samples that Perseverance is going to leave behind, NASA today published the map to the right, showing Perseverance’s planned driving routes in the crater, on the large delta that poured into the crater in the past, and beyond that crater.
The yellow lines indicate Perseverance’s planned route, beginning somewhere in that red landing ellipse. The green lines indicated the many proposed landing sites and pathways the proposed follow-on sample retrieval mission can take to grab Perseverance samples.
The planned route looks like they will spend a lot of time exploring the top of delta, then will move out of the crater and to the southwest towards what had been another candidate landing site for Perseverance, now dubbed the Midway ellipse.
What route the science team will eventually take at the delta depends greatly on exactly where Perseverance lands today. We will know more in only a few hours.
Pretty soon, they’ll open a used car lot on Mars.....
“Look at this little beauty! Low mileage and lots of options! You can drive her home today for only $99 down and $57,000 a month! We’ll even throw in some new rims!”
“Will collect sample materials and prepare a cache that can be returned to earth”
That would be something.
With the USA, UAE and CCP missions arriving at nearly the same time, Marvin probably thinks there is an invasion.
USCG 210’ Cutters were the Reliance-class cutters. Love those ships. Steadfast, Reliance, Alert, etc.
Excellent names for ships.
Thanks for the info, that is interesting to see the map.
No worries. NASA will still be doing outreach + climate change. /sarc
