Dare Mighty Things

Okay, I promise this will not turn into the All Perseverance Page. But this week it is!

Percy's parachute had a hidden message embedded in its bright red pattern. Spelled out in binary code was the phrase "DARE MIGHTY THINGS."

That's the spirit, guys and gals! I love engineers. I love scientists and space nerds. Percy is inspiring the world right now, but so are the humans who made it all possible.

Oh, AND - there's a family portrait plaque welded to the top of Percy's frame. It depicts Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, Perseverance and Ingenuity.
