Description
This week we're covering the Perseverance Rover aka Mars 2020 Rover mission. Learn more about this incredible feat of engineering, including when it's expected to launch, some of the challenges the team has faced, and of course the science we're expected to see if and when this mission is successful. I compiled all my favorite facts and information on WHY this mission is important. It's primed to blow us all away when it gets to the surface of the Red Planet - and we wish NASA and the United Launch Alliance luck launching on time under these pandemic conditions. They've worked hard to get us to this point! Good luck!
