It's fantastic technology and I will be watching and hoping everything is successful - but; what's the point of looking for "signs of life"? What would that give us?

It's dead, Jim.

Let’s not forget that, under Obama, NASA became a Muslim outreach program...Trump got them back into the space program.

When one of my son’s was five, my wife asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up. He said he wanted to work at NASA building rockets.

Believe it or not, his inspiration was Buzz Lightyear and later October Sky and The Right Stuff.

She made him a rocket ship birthday cake. He started his first job as NASA when he was still in college. He’s on a satellite mission responsible for flight operations with several billion dollars worth of technology.

He’s watching the landing today.

Next Mars mission should be to land a small Nuclear power station, with some robots, controls, and gear to become a power recharging station for the mars landers and other equipment, to extend their service life. In time, such a power station will help power a Mars science station.
