Mars as it was being visited by Perseverance

[Chris]

I was getting pretty tense watching the build up to Mars entry, so I ducked out to image Mars with my Heritage 150p and Logitech c270 webcam.

Great job Chris 👍🏻

Well done Chris. I watched the landing (well lots of people getting excited in the control room and some simulations) and it was great. Well done on the images.

Very thought provoking. Have far "we" have come.

I remember looking up at the Moon as a young boy, maybe Apollo 16 or 17 thinking that there are men up there.

I was only about 8 years old but my fixation with the Moon at that time prompted my parents to buy me a plastic toy telescope. It was just junk but to my eyes... And here I am!

Cheers Rob. When I got back inside all my family were huddled around a tablet looking at the 1st picture sent back. Such a relief after researching all the missions so far since the 60's and seeing how many failed. Looking forward to the data it sends back

Apollo must have inspired so many! My first telescope was also a plastic toy and it was terrible lol
