NASA has successfully landed its Perseverance rover in a deep crater near the planet’s equator called Jezero. I have no idea where that is but I want to move there. The six-wheeled vehicle will now spend at least the next two years drilling into the local rocks, looking for evidence of past life. They need to send some Discovery Channel cameras up there with the cast of GOLD RUSH because those guys would find something.
