rover, rover, go on over

I turned on NASA TV an hour ago, but it was too early yet.
Now I turned it on again just in time to hear clapping and the news that Perseverance landed ok.
Yay!

To think, of that bright reddish dot in the night sky, that we launched a vessel from our planet out on the long journey to it, and that it made it there ok. And that this isn't the first time either.

It's very exciting, isn't it?

I needed some good science news after the fall of the Arecibo radio telescope.

Yes! I wish I'd had more time to listen in on the earlier parts of the landing. But I was juggling work.
