Milestone to Mars

I’m fooling myself if I type anything other than, I’m obsessed with Mars. If you’re not aware, Perseverance, the latest Mars rover landed successfully on the red planet earlier today. This comes at a crucial time, I’m writing the final chapters of Red Rock Redemption. Truthfully, everything is falling apart. The characters are a mess. We have love triangles, the upcoming landing and out of nowhere, someone has developed an unexplained power. The landing was supposed to be a calm backdrop to all the tension and chaos that’s been building in the last twenty pages. However, after watching NASA’s live stream of the landing today, it seems the seven minutes it takes to move from the top of Mar’s atmosphere to the soil is a fiery, unpredictable nightmare. Welp, I need to figure this out. I’m pretty sure after what I witnessed today, they’re going to need a heat shield and a parachute. No one is supposed to die this early. Should I reconsider?
