NOVA: "LOOKING FOR LIFE ON MARS"
PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET
What does it take to find life on Mars? It takes Perseverance – and that’s the name of the rover that landed on the red planet last Thursday, carrying with it the companion craft Ingenuity, the first-ever “space helicopter.” A robotic arm will dig for soil samples and search for life, and the cameras and microphones will record pictures, audio and video. I’ve already heard sound, direct from the surface of Mars. It sounds, like, “Windy” – and I’m not talking about The Association. Watch this and see…and hear… for yourself. Check local listings.
