    Our (e.g., Human) accomplishments in Space bring back memories as a child of awe regarding them. I remember being pulled out of class to the auditorium to watch as Man first walked on the moon. I feel we're on the same precipice in our Mars missions.

    These are wonderful times. And, I'm enjoying living in them.

    More pictures are now showing up on the NASA site. They are raw images. I found one below particularly interesting.

    Apparently, in the event that a Martian does show up, NASA has been kind enough to provide a joystick so he can take Perseverance for a ride if he likes

    SO far the only thing that surprises me is the fact that no one has posted the Bernie meme on that site.

    Throwing Ted Cruz in the Bernie Meme mix is a nice touch.

    I sat and stared at that panorama from the other day. The wiring harness looks like one from Centex and it looks to be retained with zip ties.

    Ponder zip ties on Mars.
