Lockheed Martin’s Rocket Will Become First To Launch From Another Planet
NASA announced that Lockheed Martin would be building a first-of-its-kind rocket to bring back to Earth samples from Mars. For the past months, NASA's rover Perseverance has been collecting samples of the Red Planet, knowing that someday a spacecraft would take them back home. NASA has always planned to send a rocket to Mars for the samples, but the Perseverance mission started with no clear vision on how that would happen.
