- [Announcer] The Perseverance
rover headed to Mars.
Ready to ride on a
column of fire and smoke
on its way to the red planet.
- [Announcer] And lift off.
As the Countdown to Mars continues,
the perseverance of humanity
launching the next generation
of robotic explorers to the red planet.

Standing by for FRP burnout shortly.
And we have successful

- [Woman] We now have an
acquisition of signals,
and the years of blood, sweat, and tears
from every person who
worked on this mission
is now realized as Perseverance
makes its way to Mars.
