We did it! Absolutely incredible and awe inspiring! Teams around the world have successfully guided three completely different probes to Mars and they all arrived within the last week and a half. Hope from the United Arab Emirates, Tianwen-1 from China, and Perseverance from NASA are all set to begin their missions learning more about the Red Planet. Let\'s talk about what each probe/orbiter/rover will accomplish during their missions, including the Ingenuity helicopter. And let\'s not forget the seven minutes of terror that Perseverance endured to reach the surface safely. Also, let\'s talk about new chlorine chemistry discovered in the atmosphere of Mars and an update on the phosphine that may have been discovered in the atmosphere of Venus.
