NASA didn’t just land a rover on Mars – it filmed the entire nail-biting descent of the Perseverance Rover like a cinematic blockbuster.
The Perseverance Rover’s cameras captured every stage: parachute deploying, heat shield dropping away, rocket thrusters firing, and finally the legendary skycrane lowering it onto Martian soil.
Mission control audio runs over the video, calling out each step in the descent until the words everyone was waiting for: “Touchdown confirmed.”
It’s equal parts science and spectacle – the kind of history-making clip that’ll give you goosebumps.
