In NASA's mission control, they are still testing the cameras and the surroundings around the Perseverance Rover and this video shows a great deal more of the MARS ground area, close up and distance, which we see as a desert like environment in and surrounding the Jezero Crater area... Excellent footage in my view... The views are becoming more proactive and once Perseverance gets its orders to move around on a broader scale, what we see will become much more vivid and will result in more historic firsts as the analyses opens up all the possibilities... Already, Perseverance super cam has used its lasers to penetrate surface rock to find the chemical analysis of water impacting the rocks within the delta area of Jezero Crater...
I hope you find it as enjoyable and knowledge bearing as I have...

I wonder how many launches will be required to have what astronauts would need on the surface of the red planet?

My educated guess, Capt Dwayne Conyers, based on everything I have read or watched indicates some 20 missions to send the necessary materials, tools, food, machines, etc... The number of missions may be less or slightly more... These missions do not have to be serial in nature, but can be multiple missions simultaneously during the closest distance interval between Earth and Mars to make this feasible...

That 2-year waiting period for Mars to be closest to Earth is both good and bad. Good because it forces us to take time for planning and building mission requirements. Bad because it is a long wait between sending out missions.

It's interesting that the ground looks like dried cement - until I see where the treads have kicked up the dirt. Then it looks soft and, in places, damp.
