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.
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
Please do! (And also crosspost it to [email protected])
Will do :)
