Very cool video. Amazing how Earth-like the landscape looks.
I'll be on the Perseverance mission landing next year. Well my name will etched in tiny font on a small aluminum plaque attached to the rover.

Mind blowing video, thanks for posting. Just think what Galileo would have done to see images like these!

Hey! I put all of my children's names on there also! We were just talking about that again a couple of nights ago when we took our telescope out to the countryside and viewed Neowise. Guess you guys will be neighbors on Mars forever. My little ones love the idea of that.

Great terrain . . . but a lousy atmosphere for that. :p

How small is each character? (assuming they're using actual characters, and not 0s and 1s like on a DVD)

This article states names are in verrry small letters...

“In addition to the COVID-19 plaque, Perseverance is carrying a laser-etched plate that bears nearly 11 million names submitted by the general public during NASA’s “Send Your Name to Mars” campaign. The names were stenciled in 75-nanometer-high letters onto three silicon chips with an electron beam.”

75 nm = 2.95276e-6 inches

So, yeah, pretty teeny.

Yea, but I KNOW I’m there. I just can’t read it , except maybe with a really, really powerful microscope. Oh well, it’s still cool.

Here is one of our Boarding Passes (with kid's name obscured). Lots of frequent flyer miles earned! Also, in keeping with standard commercial flight practices, departure has been delayed.

I didn't get may name on the rover but I made some of the parts for it. I spent a couple of months working on a titanium piece that is part of the suspension assembly for the middle wheel. Fun and challenging work.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!:cool:

Very cool. Man these are complicated machines. Gotta work without the chance to repair it once it’s launched.

Mojo- I look forward to trying to redeem my awarded bonus miles:banana:

I dunno, you sure that's not a Hollywood lot?
