Mars Guy explains that a forced retreat has led an interesting discovery by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover at Jezero Crater.

In a new video episode, Mars Guy notes that every wheeled vehicle has its hill-climbing limit, even on the Red Planet with 38% the gravity of Earth. 

The Perseverance robot recently met its limit on a steep slope with crumbly rocks that forced it to retreat, which led it to a little rock that’s part of a bigger story.
