[English]

[SCI-FI MUSIC BEGINS] [ANNOUNCER] Here we go.

We have people from all over the world watching today's launch.

[ANNOUNCER] And liftoff.

[ANNOUNCER] Splashdown.

Oh! Dolphin cam.

Thumbs up and some smiles.

Three.

Two.

One.

We have impact!

[ANNOUNCER] Totality everyone.

I’ve always wanted to see that?

Oh, my.

The crowds are going just crazy.

We've got a ton of questions coming in from our viewers online.

This is actually an interesting question.

These environments are like places that we think

life could have started on the early earth.

[PRESENTER] Everyone joining us via live stream, the X59.

[ROBERT PEARCE] Journey of scientific and technical discovery got us to where we are today.

[MISSION AUDIO] Touchdown confirmed. Perseverance on the surface of Mars.

Tell me a little bit about what kind of information

we're actually hoping to learn.

[CAPCOM] You’re go to egress.

[ASTRONAUT] Wow!

[ASTRONAUT] That is amasing!

[CAPCOM] We have good video.

[DING]
