NASA’s Perseverance Rover has been staying very busy on the Martian surface as it makes its way to new territory. With the help of Ingenuity, the two have been making impressive progress and some fascinating discoveries. This includes dust devils, unique rock structures, and evidence of water from the past, just to name a few.
At the same time, the rover is also collecting samples as it goes in preparation for the Mars Sample Return mission which is being prepared. The rover is currently almost 10 kilometers from its original landing site after heading far northwest. NASA originally put a lot of time into picking the landing site based on its features and the surrounding area.
That work is now paying off as Perseverance goes further into the unknown. Here I will go more in-depth into the rover’s recent discoveries, the path it has taken, what’s next, and more.

I'm betting that a private entity such as SpaceX will find life on Mars before any government does. NASA is not seriously looking and hasn't been since Viking found the most promising signs with labelled release experiments done on Viking I and II. NASA declared then that life could not exist there and they've never tried to repeat the experiment. Sound fishy?
I love the perseverance updates. Where do you get these animations? I might make my own update video on it and try to stir some excitement in my local town
I tend to think that Elon musk will be on the Mars before the return mission happens
Mars is earth once humans have destroyed it.
I know it just looks like red dirt, but i could stare at real images of mars all day, those are stones never seen by human eyes on an alien planet, not some movie a real alien planet… also i have a theory, we r gonna find the real crazy stuff on venus and under the artic 😉
