It’s so impressive and I can’t stop watching the videos. I recall when the last rover “Opportunity” stopped responding, I was actually emotional about it at the end. I had followed the Twitter account for years and it just gutted me when NASA ended their attempts to contact the rover with the last command being the BillieHolliday song "I'll Be Seeing You” 

Gah, makes me sad just thinking about it. 

But yeah, this is just incredible stuff.

I can't fathom the intelligence and technology it takes to make something like this happen.  But, I still find this fascinating.

I hope we keep focused on getting there and we get to witness the first human setting foot on another planet.

Fantabulus, but someone has to ask... Who took that picture?

 

That's a computer generated image of what it was expected to look like.  That said, the rover has taken some pictures.  Here's one.  

NASA's fifth Mars rover, Perseverance, successfully landed on the planet Thursday afternoon, and has begun its two-year mission to roam its surface and search for signs of ancient microbial life. (NASA / JPL)

:) yea  it was a joke. This truly is amazing to be able to achieve things like this. I can't wait for the first Manned mission.
