So all in all, much of high promise to report, from out there in the inky black of space. Here's a bit from NASA, on the Mars halfway marker -- 146 million miles traversed; same distance left to sail:
. . . .NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission has logged a lot of flight miles since being lofted skyward on July 30 – 146.3 million miles. . . it turns out that is exactly the same distance it has to go before the spacecraft hits the Red Planet's atmosphere like a 11,900 mph (19,000 kph) freight train on Feb. 18, 2021. . . .
"At 1:40 p.m. Pacific Time October 27, 2020, our spacecraft will have just as many miles in its metaphorical rearview mirror as it will out its metaphorical windshield," said Julie Kangas, a navigator working on the Perseverance rover mission at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. . . . Next stop, Jezero Crater. . . ."
Grinning ear to ear, with little ones perparing Halloween costumes, for both distanced-real-life, and virtual- walk-about parties, nationwide. . . .
