At around 4pm ET yesterday, NASA’s most sophisticated rover yet, Perseverance, landed on Mars. It will spend at least one Mars year—687 Earth days—searching for signs of ancient life on the red planet.
It has a friend waiting: NASA’s Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars in 2012.

The landing of the six-wheeled vehicle marks the third visit to Mars in just over a week. Two spacecraft from the United Arab Emirates and China swung into orbit around the planet on successive days last week. (Bill Ingalls/NASA via AP).

“You will never be completely at home again because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.”

I__ so lonesome, so distant and so magic.
“My problem is that I fall in love with words rather than actions. I fall in love with ideas and thoughts instead of reality and it will be the death of me.”
