    A wise 7th grader once said: "We are a species of explorers, and we will meet many setbacks on the way to Mars. However, we can persevere." I'm signing off from this platform, but you can follow future updates on my mission at @NASAMars. And now, back to work 🧡
    A view of rover tracks in the sandy Martian surface is shown in a photo taken by the Perseverance rover. The tracks go off into the hazy horizon and the image is tinted a beige color. A small piece of the rover is shown off to the lower right.

    I’m on the move! Just took my first test drive on Mars, covering about 16 feet (5 meters). You’re looking at the very beginning of my wheel tracks. Many more to make.

    Not one to brag, but this is pretty momentous. By dropping this one tube to the ground, I’ve officially started setting aside samples that Mars Sample Return could bring back to Earth someday. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3WzZ5qF
    Photo from NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover shows a small, white sample tube lying on the sandy surface of Mars. About the size of a marker, the tube sits in the shadow of the rover that released it. Part of the rover’s left rear wheel is visible at top right, along with tracks it has made on the dusty ground.

    Ingenuity, the Mars Helicopter I carry, is working as expected. I’m currently charging it, but once I set it down, it’ll rely solely on its solar panels. If it survives the brutally cold Martian nights, the team will attempt flight. go.nasa.gov/3dtLvSm #CountdownToMars

    I love rocks. Look at these right next to my wheel. Are they volcanic or sedimentary? What story do they tell? Can’t wait to find out. #CountdownToMars mars.nasa.gov/mars2020
