Perseverance's landing involved the "seven minutes of terror," a fiery atmospheric entry in a protective capsule which involved a parachute-assisted descent. The "seven minutes of terror" is referred to by NASA engineers as the time it takes to enter the Martian atmosphere and descend to the surface.



The spacecraft is guided solely by pre-programmed controls in its onboard computer, due to a roughly 11 minute signal delay between Earth and Mars.



Perseverance entered into the atmosphere at about 12,100 miles per hour in a protective capsule. The spacecraft then deployed a parachute to begin slowing down before removing its protective capsule and heat shield. The rover's landing mechanism then fired eight rocket thrusters to slow down from about 170 miles per hour to about two miles per hour and guide it to a proper landing spot before using a sky crane to lower onto Mars' surface.



Perseverance landed in the Jezero Crater, a 28-mile-wide basin in the northern hemisphere of Mars, where NASA believes a body of water about the size of Lake Tahoe used to flow. The Perseverance science team believes this ancient river delta and lake deposits could have collected and preserved organic molecules and other potential signs of microbial life.

That's awesome.

That's impressive.

Absolutely cc.

When the moon landing was faked, the reason why the cost was so high was because the actor, Neil Armstrong, insisted it to be filmed on location.

That was especially good - I wish I could try it on the deniers - I'll save it for the first opportunity
