NASA, it's not simply "say cheese" with the moon.
It's "say GREEN cheese!"

These kind of delays are the Boeing difference®.
And now, additional further delays are just the stink of musk™.
(shadow president-elect musk runs SpaceX which added these additional delays, the only things he increases the efficiency of is personally accumulating money and harming people.)

Jezero once had rivers and a lake.

The afternoon sun provides a spectacular view on landscape which the rover will explore soon!

"Some experts give the Voyagers only about five years before we lose contact."
"The probes are running critically short of electricity from what are called their 'nuclear batteries' -- actually radioisotope thermoelectric generators that make electricity from the radioactive decay of plutonium. The fading power of the probes and the difficulties of making contact over more than 10 billion miles means that, one day soon, one or other of the Voyagers won't answer NASA's daily attempts to communicate via the Deep Space Network of radio dishes. Both probes use heaters to keep key instruments warm and keep the hydrazine in the fuel lines liquid: When the fuel freezes up, the probes won't be able to use their thrusters to keep their main radio antennae pointed at the Earth, and their communications will come to an end."

The best part: Watching how the Moon's appearance changes due to its inclination, oval orbit, and libration (wobble).
