30 Seconds to Mars

P and I watched the video animation of the Mars Rover launch on YouTube, which documented how the rocket launched, how the mission packaged deployed, how the lander entered the Martian atmosphere, and how the payload package used an inflatable ball system to absorb impact and and on the surface of Mars.



Today, P demonstrated the first portion of the video with Lego blocks, showing an understanding of how rockets operate.
