Mars Landing
I remember the first moon landing, my dad let me stay up all night to watch the broadcasts.
This video of the Mars Perseverance landing was taken with off the shelf cameras mounted on the lander. It was a bootleg project, not mission
critical and not really expected to work, but worked flawlessly.
Pretty cool first ever color photos and much more to come. However has anyone else noticed all the conspiracy theorists are already saying its fake. Makes me laugh at how stupid people can be.

like the ones that believe a spacecraft just landed on mars?Originally Posted by HunterCO
At least they didn’t mix up metric & imperial units of measurement again...........
My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

I was mentioning that to my coworkers.
?We intend to put the lander on the surface of Mars.?
NAILED IT!!!
You exceeded expectations since some of it is under the surface.
Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

It seems very inhospitable, and I am not sure what we have to gain by going to Mars, again.
I did watch a Nova show about this, and apparently they are looking for "proof of life" on Mars.
They are looking to see if 3-3.5 Billion Years Ago, microbes lived on Mars.
I wouldn't say this is expensive (something over a billion dollars) in our Corona Virus world of Trillions of dollars being spent.

There's still a lot we don't know about Mars. We have barely touched it and we need to know a lot more if we're ever going send humans there. We do need to extend humanity outside Earth's cradle before we get a planet killer impact again and Mars has the advantage of having reasonable gravity and the ability to hold onto some form of atmosphere.
Simply enabling the voyage to Mars will necessitate advances in safety, medical, and ecological technologies which will benefit all the humans living on THIS rock. Estimates are that every dollar spent on the Apollo program returned over seven dollars to the US economy (some estimates are much higher).
Because we are humans and that is what we do!
When you consider all the advancements made tech wise, from just going in to space. Yes it is. Or should we stick with bidens handing 4 billion over to mexico, for helping heal central & south Americas woes? My money's on space.
In the long run who knows how "mankind" or is that multigendernonspecificgrouphugkind the word i should have used.
