NASA Is Headed Back To Mars

NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover lifts off July 30 at 7:50 a.m. ET from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

The trip to the “Red Planet” will take about 7 months. When it lands in February of 2021, the rover will search signs of life, explore the planet’s geology and a bunch of other scientific stuff.
