Retired & Gonna see Mars!

Just an FYI, there's gonna be a live view of the Perseverance Mars Rover Landing on TV today, on the NASA channel. Sometime this afternoon, I'm not sure, but I believe before 4:00PM. I'm not sure of the date when the rocket to Mars left Earth, but they did their space-physics-math stuff of when to launch, especially since most of us know that Mars has been pretty close to Earth this past year.
Don't know, but I may never see this cool stuff again. PEACE to you, Major Tom!
Guess I should listen to some Bowie for a while!

Amazing!!!

From Earth to Mars in less than 7 months. Some priority mail has taken longer than that to cross the continental US!
