Perseverance made it through its 7 minutes of terror okay. Kudos to the group of engineers who made it happen. Perseverance set down right on schedule at 3:55 PM EST. Preliminary data indicates units cameras are functioning as several photos have been received by gound control. Looking forward to seeing what the unit accomplishes over the next several months.

At NASA when there is a successful moon mission they give Moon Pies © to all the employees.
When there is a successful Mars mission they pass out Mars Bars but Mars Bars are not made or sold in the US so they have to buy them off eBay. This time for the 2020 Perseverance Mars Rover mission the candy bars all had Russian Cyrillic script except for the front with "Mars"
