nasa is perseverance rover touches down after a 7 month journey for a quest to find out where the life once existed on mars also coming up this country's race to be the 1st to get their populations immunized if we take a look at how back scene nationalism is diminishing the dream of protecting the world against code 19. and the search for answers continues for year after a racist attack in the german town of qana now left 9 people dead was enough done to prevent it and could it happen again. also after days of rolling blackouts triggered by extreme winter weather the power is slowly coming back all in texas but millions are told to boil their water after frigid temperatures damaged treatment plants and pipes. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us nasa is celebrating the successful landing of its most advanced spacecraft yet on mars its space rover perseverance touched down safely inside one of the planet's craters after a nailbiting descent. the robotic vehicle will make history by collecting samples of martian soil to be brought back to earth that could help scientists to de

well, earlier i spoke to thomas zurbuchen, who's the head of science at nasa. i asked him how he coped with the excitement whilst waiting for the first data from the perseverance to arrive. oh, yes, you should have seen the teams. i was hanging out with the teams just till hours ago and both online and also in—person, and everybody is showing that they have pieces of data that we have. much of the data is still on the way down, and, yes, the excitement is tremendous. frankly, that picture we've seen, that one shot that was just described was just one of a whole movie that will document for the first time the full entry, descent and landing process, in the history of space exploration, and we've never seen that. when i look at a picture like that, i go, "wow!" when you see it with expert eyes, what do you see? i also go wow, because i know all the things i could go wrong. i spent hundreds of hours looking at the risks, talking to individuals, i know these plumes that were talked about, you know, with this jet pack interacting with the surface of mars, we were
