NASA launched its Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission today from Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.The rover will spend at least one Martian

will also collect rocks and soil samples and bring them back to Earth.The
launch of the $2.7 billion mission comes just days after the UAE and China
launched their Mars missions on July 19 and July 23, respectively. Here's a
