NASA's Perseverance Landing On Mars

In a Tribute to the Miracle of Manufacturing, Science and Technology, Manufacturing Talk Radio covered the landing of Perseverance on Mars. With 146.3 million miles of space travel, $2.7 billion dollars invested, the effort of thousands of people at hundreds of manufacturers all coordinating with NASA to conceive, create, launch, guide and land the Perseverance rover on Mars. The effort culminated with “7 minutes of terror,” when the landing craft was out of communication with NASA as it plummeted through the Martian atmosphere at 12,000 mph slowing to around 2 mph to drop the rover softly onto the surface of Mars.
