- The Perseverance rover began a two-year mission to collect Martian soil samples this year. It's the first of three missions, jointly sponsored by NASA and ESA, aiming to bring Martian soil back to Earth in hopes of finding evidence of past life. The total costs of the missions will likely exceed more than $9 billion.

Price: 2 dollars
Shipping: 9 billion dollars
Thats funny
😂😂 actually true
True bruh
LOL
no... from earth perspective, that sample is extremely rare so it's expensive... it's not joke, joke is when two or more "true" statement become paradox... but "Price: 2 dollars" statement is false.
The phrase “dirt cheap” can now be used to describe anything with a value less than or equal to 9 billion dollars
You beat me to it..😀
i guess now we have to say "earth dirt cheap"
Your dry humor has been noted.
And appreciated :)
A creative expression of taxpayers money I hope for a golden harvest and honest results 🌩
This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!
Very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $750k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance from *ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* who's a guru in the game, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.
God bless you for sharing!
I’m so honored to get to say I saw Perseverance launch with my own eyes, and also got to watch it reach Mars.
Thats pretty dang cool! Amazing what humans are doing. Just fascinating stuff 🤗.

Clean earth's atmosphere of what . Please don't say carbon

What is most surprising to me, Is the fact that billions of dollars are spent in the research of other planets but are dumbfounded on how to help the human race on earth. No matter the possibilities.

And still people starve and die for lack of cheap meds. And we spend 9 billion on curiosity. And the risk of bringing a virus to Earth. Where has wisdom and perspective gone? You can take things too far, need to keep evaluating if worth it.
@@andrewnorris5415 if there is a virus it won't do anything as there is no point of the virus evolving on mars if there is hardly any life, they will all be single celled organisms which our body's will kill.

This would be a great step into the future of humanity. Getting this will mean a lot, we can see if it is possible to grow plants.
You need lots of organic material to grow plants in soil which would take a while to build up into sufficient quantities as it would most likely have to brought from Earth mostly in the form of humans, their food and waste. In the meantime food will most likely be grown hydroponically which is an extremely efficient way of producing food as it minimizes waste. Only the nutrients taken up by the plants needs to be added back as opposed to our normal way of fertilizing which involves covering entire fields with it in the hopes enough of it will reach the plants and be absorbed.
