Local library has name inscribed on Mars rover Danielle Miller Replay Video UP NEXT The Perseverance rover landed on the Jezero Crater on Mars on Thursday and brought a piece of South Carolina with it. Inscribed on one of the microchips on the rover is the name of the Whitmire War Memorial Library. Christina Watts, branch manager for the library, jumped at the opportunity when she saw it via Citizen Science and NASA outreach. Despite a rainy day in South Carolina when the rover landed, some community members were still able to get together to watch the rover land on the red planet.
