another Mars rover, looking for life in the big lake thing. as well as cameras and loads of science stuff, it also has microphones so I guess we can listen to the landing

Not sure how much of it we'll hear, what with 1/1000 the atmosphere. But I hope the thing lands OK.

There's a flying drone too.

yeah but imagine the potential for memes and spookiness

NASA sound guys turn up the volume and we hear, very faintly, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself

Just pissed myself

But, yep, it probably will actually be able to do just that:

SuperCam includes a microphone so scientists can listen each time the laser hits a target. The popping sound created by the laser subtly changes depending on a rock's material properties.

"The microphone serves a practical purpose by telling us something about our rock targets from a distance. But we can also use it to directly record the sound of the Martian landscape or the rover's mast swiveling,"

A drone? It is a rare atmosphere so that will be interesting. I better look this up. Thanks for the mention

Very interesting..
