Event

If you need a break from shoveling snow and the dreary skies of winter - watch the landing of the Mars Rover, Perseverance this afternoon on the NASA Channel or Space.com YouTube channels.   Perseverance is scheduled to touch down around 20:55 GMT ( 15:55 Eastern) with live coverage starting at  18:00 GMT (13:00 Eastern).  With a harrowing 7 minute landing descent  ( a controlled plunge?!) to Mar's surface,  it is sure to be an exciting event.  
Remember when Sojourner first wheeled down the ramp of the Pathfinder?
