Mars Perserverance Rover has landed safely

[glend (Glen)]

The NASA Mars Rover, Perserverance, has successfully landed on target on Mars this morning (our time). Many streaming services featured the descent and landing, so easy to find if you wish to watch. First photos are back. Unfolding Every thing will take awhile but it is safely down and apparently fully functional.

Must be getting pretty busy there, thats the third in about a week. The UAE put one in orbit, I think china was another in orbit that will send down a lander, now nasa.
What are the road rules up there, who gives way to who. Or do they use the so called universal collision avoidance system, ‘the crab’, coming face to face, they then do the military sidestep in a circle to get around each other, before heading off again.
Will be interesting to follow, well the nasa one anyway, not sure we’ll get much from the others.

Unofficially this was the first shot taken. Since there's been a cover-up by NASA.
