NASA has zeroed in on a rock nicknamed “Rochette.”
Perseverance is checking out a craggy ridge named “Citadelle.”
The rocks on top of this ridge have been sitting here getting sandblasted by Mars winds for eons.
This one looks like a good, solid target for my next drilling effort.
The first tube won’t go to waste.
NASA scientists are excited the rock-less tube is full of Mars' atmosphere instead.
The successful capture of its first rock core will be an event worth cheering about.
