The Perseverance rover found potential evidence of life on Mars. Three features make the rock promising, but NASA must bring it to Earth to study it.

    This is exciting! Even if its not microbes its a fascinating find & a win for science.

    Though I hate how a someone remotely piloting science experiments via a rover on friggin’ mars has to worry about how “NASA needs this win”. What is the point of humanity if we don’t explore our universe! I find it it so frustrating.

      I hope that one day, science can be a goal on it’s own. Not just to gain profit or funding.

      From the point of view of the universe, humanity has no point beyond what ants or elephants do on Earth.

      But yeah. From the point of view of humanity, I agree with you. Having said that, Nasa is not the only agency exploring space.
