Nasa Perseverance rover sends back first images of Mars as it begins search for past life

Scientists at Nasa’s Mission Control could barely contain their excitement as the Perseverance Rover sent back its first colour images of the red planet.

The rover's successful landing on the planet was the culmination of a seven-month journey through space, travelling almost 34 million miles.

Nasa now hopes the mission to search for signs of ancient life will change the entire way we see the universe.

So what is the technology behind being able to transfer photos through hundreds of millions of miles of outer space from Mars to earth without wifi or 5G?

After destroying life on earth we are looking for life on other planets so we can destroy them as well.

Waste of resources that should be used to fight climate change.
