NASA’s manned space mission Apollo 13 failed to reach the moon in 1970 but succeeded in saving the lives of three astronauts on-board the spacecraft. After 50 years of the mission, the space agency is letting us relive the event at the same pace they occurred back then. You can head over to its “Apollo 13 in Real Time” website to get the experience.
Apollo 13 was NASA’s seventh crewed mission in the Apollo space program and the third one that was supposed to land on the Moon. The mission was launched from Kennedy Space Centre on April 11, 1970, aboard Saturn V SA-508 rocket, but unfortunately, the oxygen tank in the service module failed two days into the mission and the lunar landing was aborted.
Mission Control is compatible with all Turbo Levo, Kenevo, Creo SL, Vado, Como bikes with TCD-w, some Turbo S/X models (Model Year 2016/17) and future Turbo bikes. The replay of the launch began at 12:13 pm PT, synchronised with the original event on April 11, 1970, but you can start the event anytime. Also, if you start at T-Minus 1M, you will have to way 56 hours after launch for the oxygen tank explosion— the moment of the disaster which threatened the lives of the astronauts and ended the mission.
Apollo 13 in Real Time
NASA’s apolloinrealtime.org/13 lets users relive the events from 50 years ago. The real-time elements include all mission control film footage as well as an all mission control audio of 7,200 hours.
The experience also includes all on-board television and film footage together with 144 hours of space-to-ground audio and all on-board recorder audio. The “Apollo 13 in Real Time” not only showcases 600+ photographs from the mission but also lets you witness the press conferences as they happened back then.
Screengrab from the apolloinrealtime.org/13.Aside from that, the website lets you see searchable transcript as well as the post-mission commentary. You can join in by clicking at the “T-Minus 1M” button to join at “1 minute to launch” and relive the whole experience. Alternatively, you can select a specific moment in the mission and watch it from there.

Explanation: After a 203 day interplanetary voyage, and seven minutes of terror, Perseverance has landed on Mars. Confirmation of the successful landing at Jezero crater was announced from mission control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California at 12:55 pm PST on February 18. The car-sized Mars rover's Front Left Hazard Avoidance Camera acquired this initial low resolution image shortly after touchdown on mission Sol 0. A protective cover is still on the camera, but the shadow of Perseverance, now the most ambitious rover sent to the Red Planet, is visible cast across the martian surface.

They misread the brochure. It's a pothole suite.

I can't help but wonder when some intrepid 'Truther' -- with a vivid imagination and Photoshop -- will take a close look at the area marked by the green rectangle... ...especially the 'rectangular doorway' at right (and maybe, with imagination, at left)...
...and will declare the discovery of 'The Ruins of an Ancient Martian City'?

Yep, that’s Mars. Hasn’t changed much since Viking.
Why don’t we land near something interesting like Olympus Mons?

Actually, If I were mission-planning the rover, I'd put the rocks on the right on the ... 'closer look-see' list... TXnMA '-)

Clouds above the rim of 'Endurance Crater' in this image from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. These clouds occur in a region of strong vertical shear. The cloud particles (ice in this martian case) fall out, and get dragged along away from the location where they originally condensed, forming characteristic streamers. Opportunity took this picture with its navigation camera during the rover's 269th martian day (Oct. 26, 2004). (NASA/JPL)

dragnet2; Thanks!
What is interesting is that there are a number of dust devils on the surface at the same time.
Here is a good example of multiple man made dust devils. (BurningMan 2016)
