Honored to add my voice to chorus: keep NASA the most awesome space program, for human and robotic exploration. Let's get it done w/ a strong FY24 sci budget incl a sustainable rework of MSR priorities following from all @NASEM Decadal Surveys🚀🛰🔭👩🚀🌏🪐 washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

My thoughts on proposed cuts to the #NASA science budget. ROI matters, space pays back in dividends. America can afford a future.

The full set, in one view! Check out my new panorama, featuring all 🔟 of the sample tubes I recently set down as a backup for #MarsSampleReturn.
Trouble spotting them all? Improve your odds with this interactive viewer, and zoom in on the full image: go.nasa.gov/3K4kjtJ
ALT Panoramic photo from NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover shows wheel tracks across a vast, flat, desert landscape. Along the tracks, which recede into the distance in a zig-zag pattern, are 10 small sample tubes placed on the surface by the rover. Part of the rover’s robotic arm is visible at lower left. The horizon is dominated by a large mesa-like feature. Older wheel tracks, also created by Perseverance, can be seen on the right, appearing somewhat fainter than the fresh tracks on the left.

Here is a 3D tour of the place where @PerseveranceR11 took its first rock sample. This blog was a long time in the coming, and I thank everyone who made it happen, especially Roland Aristide and @Jim_Bell!
