On Friday, NASA’s Perseverance Rover tried to collect its first Mars rock samples but came up empty-handed.
Perseverance rover just keeps setting records.
It’s an area that could have once held alien or microbial life, so these samples are important.
Basically, the mission team believes that the unique properties of the rock may have been to blame.
For example, the sample could have broken apart or wasn’t as expected under the surface.
