J'Accuse...
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover spotted something interesting tucked into a boulder as it rolled through the Jezero crater. The robot's team was able to confirm that it was just a piece of human trash, which NASA believes came from, well, NASA.
The social media manager of the rover said that his team had spotted something unforeseen. They think it's a piece of a thermal blanket that came from my descent stage, the rocket-powered jet pack that set me down.
Space debris, which has proven to be a threat to astronauts, the Earth, and the other pristine, human-less bodies in our solar system, is a growing concern that off-planet industries have had to grapple with.
The location of the garbage on the Red Planet threw the Perseverance team for a loop. My descent stage crashed about 2 km away. Was this piece blown here by the wind after that?
There is not yet a plan for reducing, reuse, and recycle on the Red Planet. This fragment of NASA waste is likely to stay put for a long time.
NASA's Perseverance rover captured images of its own litter, and it showed how Mars is becoming a junkyard.
