Yes, I know what NASA says– “The Perseverance rover will search for ancient Martian microfossils of long-extinct bacteria … or … at least their organic “biosignatures” (molecular evidence of former biochemistry, likely to be found hidden in the rocks) ….” But, REALLY …. If THAT is Percy’s official “NASA mission,” how come it’s carrying a ground-penetrating RADAR instrument — capable of seeing (roughly …) only 30 feet under the undulating ancient lakebed that Percy’s currently sitting on?; if Jezero was truly such “an ancient lake,” slowly filling with sediments washed down by the obvious ancient river channel visible just to the west of the crater, what underground “geology” could Percy’s little radar possibly find … if […]

Or … take the equally sudden, world-wide, multi-racial/multi-cultural political demonstrations now being staged by millions of otherwise “ordinary folks” taking to the streets … each, prompted by the horrifying sight of the slow-motion “last straw” television strangulation of “another black man in America” (a vivid demonstration of the underlying power of “Roddenberry’s Rule”) …. By stark contrast … in a few short weeks, another US spacecraft will once again be leaving for the Red Planet — the “Perseverance” Rover … this time, finally (fifty years after Viking!) carrying instruments capable of publicly confirming CURRENT “life on Mars” … if … NASA let’s it.
