About this movie

It's the most sophisticated piece of robotic hardware ever launched into space, designed to finally answer humanity's biggest question: is there life beyond Earth? Meet Perseverance, the next rover to explore Mars, and see how this interplanetary cruiser/weather station/rockhound/chemistry lab may change our view of the Red Planet and the universe. Then witness NASA's decades-long mission to reach and better understand Mars, from the Mariner flybys and Viking landers to the exploration rovers that paved the way for Perseverance.
