Where's the ACTUAL "NASA's Perseverance rover approaching Mars" footage!?

Things are getting exciting now! So many things must go right.

3:55 p.m.
The landing is expected at 3:55 p.m. EST (2055 GMT). At the time of Perseverance's landing attempt, Mars will be about 127 million miles (205 million kilometers) from Earth, NASA said in a mission description.8 hours ago

SUCCESS!

Congratulations NASA JPL!

This makes me sad. I hope a new one can be built but they were having trouble even getting the funds to repair it along with everything else going on there. I remember watching something on PBS about this in the '80s and it and NASA had me hooked on all things space-related. I almost chose astronomy as my major in college, sorta wouldn't mind going back for it, space still intrigues me.

*beg for today's SpaceX crew's return as shown in http://www.nasa.gov/nasalive.

You could selectively choose events, including NASA launches that were cancelled just as easily.

"Much deadlier than the current one" how exactly can you determine that when the current pandemic is far from over.

Having worked 5 years @ NASA (as a low-level worker), THIS is indeed common, and a skill we all learned.

Some serious abdications occur for this to be so endemic.

NASA definitely got their money's worth out of that rover...

Interesting.
Why can't we use hydrogen balloons to put instruments at the right levels above earth, I wonder?
Do they think the static fluctuations, including the rifts, can be attributed to the almost total lack of atmosphere, or the lack of magnetic field on MARS, or something else?
Maybe I should read the NASA release.....nope, no answers there, only a near verbatim transcript of the narration.
*quality scientific discoveries

When he enters the second shot he is 13 seconds to liftoff. Not so hard to time it right. Would be more impressive if it was one continuous take from start to finish.

42 Years, 3 Months, 4 Days, 6 hours since liftoff till now.
9.5 miles per second

Carefully

None of the endothermic reactions in this video have been suggested as methods to regulate global temperature, because even if they could be scaled up enough to make a global difference they don't address the systems which regulate the earth's temperature.

Some things which have affected global temperatures either up or down are:

• Volcanic eruptions can cause global cooling, for example the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption released around 20 million tons of sulphur dioxide causing global cooling of approx 0.5°C over the following three years (ref: https://earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/sensing-our-planet/volcanoes-and-climate-change and https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/1997/fs113-97/ )
  
• Increased rates of erosion of the right type of rocks can increase CO₂ absorption and reduce global temperatures that way, https://earth.stanford.edu/news/how-weathering-rocks-cooled-earth#gs.cmy3h0
