How to watch

NASA will provide live coverage of the landing. The NASA TV broadcast from mission control kicks off on Thursday, Feb. 18 at 11:15 a.m. PT. Touch down in the Jezero Crater on Mars is scheduled for around 12:30 p.m. PT.

This won't be like a rocket launch where we get to see every detail as it's happening. We will get NASA commentary and updates, views from mission control, and hopefully some images not too long after landing. It will be a must-watch event for space fans.

Thurs, Feb 18
USA: 11:15 a.m. PT / 2:15 p.m. ET
Brazil: 4:15 p.m. (Rio)
UK: 7:15 p.m.
South Africa: 9:15 pm
Russia: 10:15 pm (Moscow)
United Arab Emirates: 11:15 pm

12. I want to get that Hot Wheels Mars Perseverance Rover...can't find it anywhere

and don't want to go in an actual store lol. May have to check Ebay.

There are custom Lego kits if you want to build one.
