Mars landing: Nasa's Perseverance rover in 'great shape'
Perseverance will now spend at least two years looking for evidence of past life on the Red Planet.

Ok then! To truly prove itself, Perseverance must enter.....
THE SPHERE OF COMBAT!!!
....on Mars......c'mon, there must be some offline Alien outpost on the surface, somewhere.
The landing was pretty darn exciting and Perserverence already has a highter percentage of time the right way up on a planet than I do in my SRV! (Sounds like they're already looking at powering up the skimmer helicopter too)
Yeah, that skimmer looks nice. That would be nice for surface exploration gameplay in Odyssey.
Looks at Frontier.
Congratulations to Perseverance for acquiring the Federal Navy Rank of Petty Officer!
Phenomenal feat of engineering. Congrats to NASA and the Americans who support them (like me!). Can't even imagine what those 11 minutes felt like to the folks in the control room...
Gives me chills:

Wut? Perseverance has no time for any Feddie nonsense. She's 100% Imperial and currently basking like a SRV-boss on Mars.
THIS, I am also curious. It clearly took off after dropping the rover... Where did it go??
Yep. Flies a safe distance away and crashes. Dies a hero, then the rover gets all the glory. Such is life on Mars.
Poor bloody cargo pilots are always copping it in the neck...
It's dismissed.
He is something interesting:

Post landing update. One of the NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory guys is talking about returning Mars samples to Earth - that is where I see lander taking this stuff of Mars... Could that be the case??

Perseverance is collecting the sample, but a different craft will return it to Earth as part of a future mission. It's not soon, though. I believe the plan is to return it by 2031.
