I hear this in Professor Farnsworth's voice.

I saw a demonstration from some of the team members at the Wright memorial in North Carolina. Fascinating stuff. They actually had to build a wall out of computer fans to simulate the atmosphere on Mars. They don't actually get dust storms like in the movies.

Oh, and they put a small piece of cloth from one of the Wright Brothers wings on Perseverance.

Can you imagine how excited the wright brothers would have been to know that a piece of their plane was going to fly on Mars?
