Nasa Perseverance Mars Rover begin key journey to found life - BBC news - abrehmanx2x

Nasa's Perseverance rover has reached a big
moment in its mission to find evidence of life on
Mars.
The robot will begin to climb up an ancient
delta feature in the crater where it landed,
stopping to examine rocks that could possibly
retain evidence of life.
On its way back down, Perseverance will collect
some of these rocks, placing the samples at the
base of the delta to be retrieved by later
missions.
The goal is to bring this material back to Earth
in the 2030s for detailed inspection.
