On Thursday, I joined the world and watched in awe as the Perseverance Rover touched down on the surface of Mars. It was a remarkable feat — one made possible by the hard work and ingenuity of the team at @NASA. I called to congratulate them on their historic landing. https://t.co/0Qjs2MDk4J

NASA Scientists & Engineers successfully landed a rover & helicopter on planet Mars, where it’s 100 degrees below zero, 120 million miles away. On that same day it was cold in Texas. Millions of people lost electricity. Conclusion: Maybe NASA, not politicians, should run Texas. https://t.co/YzioIXBiij
