T&C Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Some really good video here along with the story... been checking this out for awhile... oddly, just mentioned him in the book thread but Bradbury got me into the planet many many years ago. https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2021/02/17/perseverance--how-nasa-rover-s-mars-mission-is-different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MSR mission is 10 years out. Ideally it could mate with Perserverence. Edited February 19, 2021 by Sundancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I geocache and so does someone who worked on the rover. There are things called travel bugs rear you move from cache to cache. They have codes on them that you enter and get credit for hvng seen ir handled it. That person had a code etched on the lander that will be visible in pictures of the lander. Starting in a day or two any geocacher can log a travel bug on Mars! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously when I went to school in 1st grade I was not impressed with the Dick and Jane book "See Spot Run" which was an issue with my primary school education.

If Miss Pickerell went to Mars when I was a kid, I cannot figure out why we're still sending WALL-Es. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
