NASA lands the Perseverance<\/em> Rover on Mars.\u00a0 February 18, 2021 marked the date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t believe that NASA just landed their fifth vehicle on Mars.\u00a0 The first occurred in 1976 as I was entering my freshman year of high school.\u00a0 I can still see the pictures from Viking I<\/em> in my mind\u2019s eye.\u00a0\u00a0 That was July 20, 1976 as the Olympics were unfolding in Montreal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than me trying to summarize the feat, I direct you to the NASA site<\/a>.\u00a0 Hopefully we will learn some interesting facts about our nearest neighbor in the Solar System.\u00a0 Some think we will find life.\u00a0 They have been thinking that since 1976.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, NASA excitedly announced they had found life on Mars back in 1976.  Then had to recant a few days later when they realized they had erroneous data.  Life on Mars, don\u2019t bet it.  Life is contained on earth in this solar system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be that as it may, Perseverance<\/em> will be reporting more information as the weeks unfold.\u00a0 It revolutionary design should make it very suitable for the job.\u00a0 Well done NASA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
