200 days... hope I’ll be alive to see it. I’m in good health and young but ya never know.

Literally 99% won’t see this but if you do, God bless you stay safe and have a wonderful day😌

[aaronking]

incredible they're able to make it fly in such thin atmosphere. i remember this was a problem many thought insurmountable just a decade ago.

Better yet let’s build a space station on the moon fully functional and study the rocks and specimens from mars before bringing it to Mother Earth 🤓

Next time there's a trip to Mars just send me with a one-way ticket because I must leave the planet because I'm losing my mind over my love for my queen, Belle Delphine.

Awesome NASA ... Keep pushing the borders of science. Wish you all the best... !!!

“Potentially” historic mission.

Literally every mars river has been historic because it is putting something on mars.

And then outta nowhere they find DoomGuy waiting to be awaken from his deep sleep

did they use spaceX rocket? If not why (because I guess it should cost a lot more to use an expandable rocket right?)

It's been so many Years and we are still stuck on this earth no one will never leave, face it.

[luso]

Why the sudden rush? I know that the position of the planets is optimal at the moment but more than one nation launching missions... why oh why?

[MihadAlzayat]

How many rovers do we need to figure out if there was life?

Love it, wearing masks in front
of the green screen to perpetuate the fear.
