Perseverance to hopefully launch Thursday

The launch of the Perseverance rover is currently set for Thursday, some time between 7:50am and 9:50am.

Not sure I'm getting up early even though it's not that early, given what I've heard of Florida's weather lately.

Their launch window lasts until August 11...so we should have time if they do have to scrub. The launch was complicated by COVID-19 and NASA has to get kudos for still getting it ready,

Perseverance will be accompanied by Ingenuity which, if all goes well, will be the first powered vehicle to fly in the atmosphere of another planet. And which is kinda cute.
