NASA been very interested in planet Mars and has sent multiple rovers to explore
the terrain! As somebody planning to set up a permanent outpost on the planet, Elon
Musk has been paying to all the discoveries NASA’s rovers have made! The latest rover
to land on Mars is the Perseverance, accompanied by a small helicopter named
Ingenuity! What has NASA’s Perseverance discovered on Mars, and how can the
discoveries affect you? Stay tuned as we bring you the shocking findings Elon Musk
and NASA just made on Mars that shock the entire space industry!
While you watch this video, there is an autonomous vehicle trudging along millions of
miles away on planet Mars. Its name is Perseverance, and it costs a cool 2.7 billion
dollars, much more than any vehicle you might see on the road today!
Why did NASA spend so much money on Perseverance? For years, NASA’s Mars
Exploration Program has been systematically trying to find out whether life ever existed
on Mars! The agency’s Spirit and Opportunity rovers showed that liquid water once
existed on the surface. Building on that discovery, NASA’s Curiosity rover found
conditions on Mars around 4 billion years ago that could have supported life as we know
it. Now, Perseverance will directly search for signs of past life.
Perseverance launched on July 30th, 2020, amidst the challenges and chaos of the
global COVID-19 pandemic. It landed on February 18th, 2021, in the Jezero crater, the
site of an ancient lake and river delta, during a seven minutes of terror as mission
controllers could not direct the process in real-time.
At the crater, the rover will search for microbial fossils in rocks formed in Mars’ warm,
wet past. It will also look for carbon-containing molecules called organics that form the
building blocks of life on Earth. Not since 1976 has NASA directly searched for life on
Mars when the dual Viking landers performed long-shot chemistry experiments that
turned up inconclusive results
