Faced with weeks of driving across treacherous rocks or a shortcut across a potential sand trap, Perseverance broke on through the sand and found an island littered with rocks like none ever seen before on Mars.

Oooh, this is a good one. His videos are usually great but so much detail in this one.

I love the healthy science cult around the perseverance rover!

Me too. It's great. :)

I got gifted a perseverance Lego set from my son for Christmas. Haven't gotten around to making it yet but when I do I'll post up pics and a review.

Perseverance is really one of the great achievements.

that would be fantastic! I have a two late-stage teens here. my son would love to see it for the construction-nerd aspect. my daughter would love to see it for the science-nerd aspect.

Perseverance is really one of the great achievements.

it really is. the combination of approachable engineering and wow factor of driving around on another planet really grabs you and just wont let go!

Oh before I even start, it's perfect if you have two teens who would work together like that. I was given the Apollo lander one before which has a similar complexity level and did it with my bestie over a few beers and it really lent itself well to 2 people doing it.

Space remote control cars :D
