After years in development, six months in space and a nail-bitting “seven minutes of terror” descent, NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover successfully landed on in Jezero Crater on Wednesday afternoon at 3:55pm ET, where it will search for past or present signs on life.
It was yet another massive achievement for the collective brain power at NASA and an incredible and much needed reminder of what human ingenuity, intellect and teamwork can do.
Not only did Perseverance safely land, but it was quick to beam back photos showing a desolate and uninhabitable landscape. The historic images offered us another chance to contemplate the frailty of human existence among the cosmos, or take a breath and reflect on what we, as a species, can accomplish if we put aside petty squabbles.
But, we decided to do none of that.
Instead, we made memes and Ted Cruz and Matt Damon jokes. Enjoy!

The Federal Government continues to spend far too much money trying to rescue Matt Damon. He knew what he was getting into https://t.co/DN3ob6eiOV
