NASA launches Mars Perseverance rover today!


For the third time in only the last week and a half, a rocket was launched to Mars.  Today, NASA launched its spacecraft to the red planet, after China and the United Arab Emirates did the same.  Perseverance was launched from Cape Canaveral this morning and should reach Mars February 18, 2021.  The probe will be accompanied by a helicopter Ingenuity, which will help scout for locations for Perseverance to explore.

I'm thinking of AMEE from Red Planet.
