The suspension being built into the spokes of the wheel is brilliant

Its impressive to see the first man on the moon, but more impressivve for the first man to take footsteps on mars

Testing paid off big!! It was mentioned that 4, 000 man-years of effort went into developing Perseverance ... the amount of effort and number of people involved is often over looked.

Best wishes to the Perseverance team for tomorrow's landing! Looking forward to the ride to the surface and the science the rover and her team will conduct in the years to come!

Well I remember when NASA went to the moon. It sure would be great to see them make it to Mars before I check out.

NASa hould show actual test flights of the Perseverance drop off or just controlling the flight. That would be awesome!

Should make a whole documentary in the testing for making the rover.

Wow 👏🏽👏🏽 Getting close now, although I am in the future I still have to wait another day 🚀

[jasonmcharris]

Iv been waiting for this landing for 6 months 😊😊😊😄😄😄

[berlymahn]

wondering if the drone flight was tested in near vacuum (or thin atmosphere like Mars).

One step for machines, one giant step for mankind!
I'm privileged to be alive to see this day,

Like if you agree.

[Danboi.]

I really want to see the whole sequence of events! Did they drop a mock lander with thr "rocket crane" etc??? Is there footage?? Has to be

[Rocky-xxzg]

What are the Las Vegas odds for Success? And Failure?
