                  But not enough atmosphere to actually stop

I'm feeling a bit better after the events of yesterday [1].

Now, seeing how the Perseverance Mars rover is expected to land tomorrow, I
present “Seven Minutes of Terror [2]”—yes, that video is about the Curiosity
Mars rover landing, but they're using the same method for Perseverance, an
insane method involving parachutes, rockets, and a crane.

Insane, I tell you. Insane.
