You probably heard about NASA’s Perseverance rover that was launched for Mars back in July this year. It will look for signs of ancient life and collect samples of rock and regolith (broken rock and soil) that could be returned and examined on Earth.
The countdown to landing on Mars has now begun with 56 days to go. And just in time for Christmas, NASA has dropped a trailer of Perseverance’s journey completion that is due to take place on February 11. After almost 300 million miles, the rover sets foot on the red planet in a minute-long video that honestly looks like a proper movie trailer.
