Be careful who you greet on Mars.
Aliens do not understand jokes and they don't use B4XPages they still hang on Jetbrain's Kotlin language

I just hope that they use the designer to create the layout.

I wonder they have hands or use keyboard to code ?

Why the rover looks like Lego Technics?

but Americans are better at fictions ?

I think it is based on the first car human ever made.

I guessed it right. 8 years ago NASA sent their Mars Curiosity Rover which BattleBricks has then build a Lego Mindstorms model. Now they have the Mars Perseverance Rover. Maybe another lego model will be available soon.

As far as I know, the whole technology is based on arduino uno and programmed with B4R.
Then it can't be that bad.

Hopefully they didn't forget to set the StackBufferSize higher than 300.

B4X:

#Region Project Attributes
    #AutoFlushLogs: True
    #CheckArrayBounds: True
    #StackBufferSize: Maximum
    #DefineExtra: #define GOTOMARS
#End Region

How smart is the Rover?
Will it go back to the spacecraft when it's mission accomplished and the spacecraft will send it back to earth?
It's battery can last long enough and the sunlight at Mars is sufficient to provide solar power to it?
What happened if it has to use more power to defense itself from the aliens?
Some home robotic vacuum cleaners know when to go back home to charge their batteries.

No problem! no batteries are used, only fuel cells.

Let’s hope it won’t explode.

Don't worry, they are from China.

Did the Perseverance took a photo and send back to earth or space station? Why not 10 more photos or NASA only willing to share 1? Maybe a short video.
What kind of network NASA uses while my internet download speed is still so slow like snail. Sorry for my noob questions.

okay let me read further, there is something call MRO. It seems it is far ahead than 5G technology. I wish I could get this kind of technology. ?

I can’t believe USA is willing to use China technology. China may also stopped NASA to use it too due to the trade war.
