Mars Rover touchdown today

Slightly off topic, but for those of us looking for an exciting escape from the depressing reality we face, below is a link to the NASA website which has great information on the Mars Rover vehicle which is set to touch down on Mars this afternoon at around 1 PM Pacific time. There is a link to watch online starting about 2 hours before touchdown.

Pretty incredible that scientists can put a vehicle full of scientific instruments on Mars. If only they could figure out how to cure dementia.

Bill, I do it on my IPad and I think the process might be different if using a computer but here’s what I do:

Highlight and copy the website link in the thread and copy it to the search bar.

Open the website, hit upload then copy

Go back to the original thread, open a reply box and paste in the website link.

Bill, here's what I did. I copied your link, went to word online, started a new document, pasted, then hit the space bar once. It turned into a live link. Then I highlighted it, and changed the size of the type to 16. While it is still highlighted, and a live link, copy it to paste wherever you want the live link to appear. https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/   I think this will work whatever computer you are using. I'm on a chromebook.

Glad it worked for you.

So that's what all of the things about the Rover was on TV this morning.  Bet those little green men aren't happy.
