NASA is celebrating the launch of its most advanced Mars rover ever today (July 30), even as engineers tackle a glitch that left the spacecraft in a protective "safe mode" shortly after liftoff.


Should reach Mars by February of 2021

I hope it finds my missing set of car keys up there. Those car remote fobs are expensive.

I wonder if any engineered part of the rocket system or the rover costs less than a car remote fob.
