Save The Date For a Show

 One of the things we've seen a lot of lately is some pretty exciting views of spacecraft in action.

And on February 18, we'll get to see something we haven't before. A landing on Mars.

Perseverance is carrying enough audio-visual gear that there will be video footage of the crucial descent and landing. It won't be a live feed because it won't be able to send the footage back until after touchdown.

But we will get to see it, albeit possibly after a few days (it takes time to send high bandwidth stuff that far).
