It's such a bullshit article. For almost it's entire mission, Perseverance is exploding an ancient river delta. It's been doing it for years!

For anyone interested, I strongly recommend Mars Guy YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@MarsGuy?si=uGXt3X6GWDpvI78Q Every Sunday he reports on what the rovers (and helicopter) have been up to on Mars. Fascinating stuff.

Exploding: Sponsored by Nestle Must. find. more. water. to. sell.

At least you could argue there was a reason to pay that much for it.

I will finally be able to justify my plastic water bottle bill.

"IT'S FROM MARS!"

Goodbye ancient river delta

Yeah but if it weren't for this "bullshit article", I would have never known about this

Now the Mars rover can make Netherite gear!

Still needs gold, and, in the latest update, a smithing template. But I'm probably being too analytical.

Huh, was expecting an empty glass Pepsi bottle.

The rovers must be crazy

I would like to take this opportunity to say: "Wtf, that thing is still going?!?!"
