Earlier I provided a short NASA weekly update on what is happening at NASA... I turn now to the Mars mission at han to bring Martian Samples back to Earth...
Synopsis, by Seeker/NASA:
"Mars sample return has been a high priority for the scientific community for a long time, and an upcoming launch is an ambitious new chapter in Mars exploration.
A Mars Sample-Return mission is exactly what it sounds like—a spaceflight mission to the red planet to collect rock and dust samples and bring them back to Earth.
This mission’s landing site is Jezero Crater, and the launch of the new Mars rover is the first step in a series of proposed missions over the span of a decade to bring samples back, with all of the source material.
In this Focal Point, we speak with Eric Aguilar, Mars 2020 System Testbed Manager at NASA/JPL, and Chris Herd, PhD, a Mars 2020 Return Sample Scientist and Professor at the University of Alberta, to learn more about the mission to Mars.
The rover is slated to launch this summer, watch to find out more about its upcoming journey across the red planet."
I hope you enjoy this Mars mission update...

I am hoping that is the case, Lt Col Charlie Brown... All the data so far supports it, but when we get the actual samples it will either prove it or disprove it... If positive, It may change everything we do from here on out... As it is, the Military (Primarily the Navy and Air Force have been reporting an increasing number of UFO sightings while on flight missions... No one wants to believe it, but in my view, they have been visiting us for millennia...
