My wife is a major space nerd, too. She was PISSED she had to go to the office today, of all days, after working from home for several months. She's has a decade of elementary school space education in a program that was established after the Challenger accident. She loves anything space related. I recorded what I could for her.

Those wacky JPL guys. Hidden messages and fun stuff on Perseverence.

My wife and I have been to JPL's open house four times. Before Covid, it was held annually in May. It got so popular they had to have a free lottery for tickets. Basically a science fair for PhDs. Great stuff for nerds like her and I. It's on hold until Covid is over.

There's a lot more than hidden messages on there too. My name is one of many engraved on a plate they bolted to the rover. NASA had a bit on their website years back where if you submitted your name they'd include it on the rover so I did.

My name as well as the missus' is on the next one due to launch July 2026.

Very cool way to send yourself to Mars!
