This is not exactly what I meant when I said that I like the modern space industry.
Nevertheless, it is noted that the main task has been completed. Hope no one gets hurt by such events.
I'm surprised that Greenpeace doesn't react violently to such things.
NASA invites everyone to join watching Preservance landing.
An online broadcast of the landmark event is scheduled for February 18, it will be possible to follow it both on the NASA website and on the agency's official YouTube channel.
This is the news I meant.
