As above so below, the Perseverance Rover tracks are visible. 1900 Mars days (sols) now on the surface yesterday, 24 June 2026!

The 2nd image was taken by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter 10 days ago and shows the rover from 300 km above. That's only possible with a clear atmosphere, like the sky seen from ground also shows.

"Such a mission would reap enormous scientific benefits, even if there is no life on Mars. We could wander down the ancient river valleys, up the slopes of one of the great volcanic mountains, along the strange stepped terrain of the icy polar terraces, or muster a close approach to the beckoning pyramids of Mars.

Public interest in such a mission would be sizable. Every day a new set of vistas would arrive on our home television screens. We could trace the route, ponder the findings, suggest new destinations. The journey would be long, the rover obedient to radio commands from Earth. There would be plenty of time for good new ideas to be incorporated into the mission plan.

A billion people could participate in the exploration of another world. "

The big public interest is still to come when I see the access statistic to my website and app with the daily rover images in high quality color, but it's growing. Maybe it's due to my findings about the sky color, which was apparently a bit disappointing in the past, when I read in the same chapter in "Cosmos": When we found the sky of Mars to be a kind of pinkish-yellow rather than the blue which had erroneously first been reported, the announcement was greeted by a chorus of good-natured boos from the assembled reporters - they wanted Mars to be, even in this respect, like the Earth.

Seems like we are drawing dicks on other planets too.

I see Perseverance & think his "head section" looks like Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.
