**MARS 2020 MISSION UPDATES**
NASA sent the Perseverance rover to Mars to explore Jezero crater and search for evidence of ancient life. The rover launched successfully (beautifully!) from Cape Canaveral on July 30 at 7:50 am EDT (click here to re-watch) and touched down beautifully on February 18, 2021. Perseverance has been on Mars for almost two Earth years(!) and is doing great. We've collected fifteen rock samples (successfully) and have finished putting down our first cache of samples for Mars Sample Return! Can't wait to see these rocks in person in about a decade. Follow along here for updates or at NASA's Mars 2020 mission website.
