What a Great Time to Be Alive, I just wish I was 18 again, but 62 is better than the Alternative. God Bless the Universe. 🇺🇸

Hard to even begin to imagine making a rocket-levitating crane and having it operate on an entirely different planet

although I graduated from Cornell over 40 years ago now retired I still kick myself for not taking an elective course with Carl Sagan who was teaching there when I was in school; and they still have a wonderful astronomy dept today

Did the sky crane just fly away and crash when it ran out of fuel or was it a more controlled descent before it ran out of fuel? Just curious. Just Googled it - the crane flies away and crashes.

brilliant, I'm so proud of them.

dear Ian,
how will the results supersonic parachute video affect our efforts to scale up the chute & put more mass on the ground the next rover? does this mean launch faring size will be the only limit on mass left?

Nice work NASAJPL! What is the distance between Perseverance and NASA InSight?
