The parachute has deployed, i.e. opened.
Good luck yuu geeks!

LANDED! DUDE. KNARLY.
NASA JPL in LA lands on Mars and has photos coming back in seconds.
Texas doesn't have power or water.

NASA in Houston put the first man on the moon more than 50 years ago.

NASA JPL is in Pasadena, dude. NASA is not a lone island in Houston, Texas.
This rover has a drone. Hopefully, that drone works in that atmosphere and Martian fly videos will be available.
NASA's JPL facility is on the CalTech campus in Pasadena, CA. Unmanned probes are directed from there. Manned flights are controlled from the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Congratulations to NASA for another engineering marvel. My only problem with this probe is that it
is a little too conservative. Sometimes one problem with Science by government committee is that you will get overly cautious and uninspired grand enterprises. The soil samples being collected by the Perseverance rover aren't scheduled to be collected and sent back to earth until 10 years.
They need someone like Elon Musk occasionally approving really outlandish and crazy things.
Perhaps an experimental bowling alley on Mars?
They're not going to find anything.
They keep sending all these probes to Mars and then they announce they found some evidence that could possibly mean there might have been life there once.
Even if they bring back some samples, they will just study them for 20 years and then say, "hmmm, this could possibly mean there might have been life there once."

There was life but it was destroyed by a Virus.
It might have been destroyed by something that could possibly have been a virus due to some chemical they found in a rock

Which was denied by their leader and assorted message board ingrates
Mars is being contested by many countries now. Los Angeles leads the Mars race. Good news for once in a long time.
They are stupid if they bring anything back. God, humans are so arrogant. Masters of the universe. Thinking universal laws really will apply to the entire universe and we are the ones who 'set' these universal laws? Heaven forbid there would be anything out there outside of our understanding.

Is there any topic on which you can speak with any credibility?
This rover and the little helicopter are really cool. The landing method used i was pretty wild too. Deploy a parachute will traveling supersonic, then fly with jets, self guided and lower the rover to the ground on a tether.
Whether or not it finds any evidence of life doesn't matter that much to me. There will be important scientific discoveries made by Perseverance. Never stop exploring and learning!
I just want it to drive around and find the other rover. Red rover, red rover.
More Images came back today and have been posted by NASA JPL in Los Angeles, California.
Amazing footage. Space exploration has finally entered the video age. Still images are great but theres something visceral about seeing something happening in motion while considering its on a different planet. Next step: Mars Cam! My only regret is that we didnt get video of the moon bounce madness that was the Pathfinder (?) landing.
