MENASHA, WI (WTAQ) â The Perseverance Rover is now on Mars after making planetfall Thursday.
Itâs an event that Alan Peche, director of the Barlow Planetarium, part of UW-Oshkosh, watched with great interest as the spacecraft arrived on the surface of the red planet after seven months in space.
âNASA made this look very easy. This is not easy,â Peche told WTAQ. âGetting a spacecraft to another planet is hard. Landing a rover on another planet after you get it to the planet is even harder.â
