You have to see these memes about the Perseverance landing on Mars
No time right now?
The question of what the new Mars rover Perseverance will find on the red planet is not only a concern for NASA experts. There are already many ideas and concepts circulating on Twitter. We have gathered the best.
“Is there life on Mars?” David Bowie asked as early as 1971 – and finally nobody has been able to answer it. Last but not least, hopes are being placed in Perseverance, the rover that landed on the red planet on Thursday, February 18, around 10 p.m. Central European time. He is supposed to investigate Mars geologically and also look for traces of earlier life and water. This also means that he collects rocks that are to be transported back to earth in a later mission. The small helicopter called Ingenuity, which Perseverance has on board, will also test whether it is possible to fly in the thin Martian atmosphere and, if necessary, undertake various exploratory flights.

Life on Mars – this is how it could look
And maybe it will actually turn out that there is life on Mars. That would then directly raise further questions: What does it look like?
After landing, Perseverance sent a black and white photo to earth as the first sign of life. Twitter users analyzed it directly and presented their very own results – if they were right, the Mars population would not be so dissimilar to us. Or have some familiar faces simply arrived on Mars long ago?
In any case, this one reminds us suspiciously of a certain Vincent Vega:

And Bernie Sanders, too, either has a Mars doppelganger – or made himself comfortable in his chair when the rover arrives. In any case, his clothing goes well with the temperatures that can reach 100 degrees Celsius below zero on Mars.

Whether human, animal or a completely different form of life – someone was definitely already there. And was hungry:
