The 7 minutes of Martian terror
On the 18th of February NASA's Perseverance Rover attempts most dangerous Mars landing yet. One of goals of this mission is to store samples for later missions to collect and bring back to earth. Hope it works out and lands in one piece.

Going to be a great year for space exploration.
 Hopefully the James Webb telescope gets up there this year as planned.

I like it when they all jump up and cheer.

You didn't miss too much, just a lot of tension, suspense and anxiety followed by sudden relief, cheering and congratulations. I think one of things which makes this mission different from others is they said they'll eventually have video and audio of the descent. They even sent a drone they can fly too.
Hope they captured some good video while that puppy was speeding along 5.3 kilometers per second.

Watched it on tv and found it as fascinating as that first first moon landing all those years ago.
