Many thousands of people celebrated when the Mars rover Perseverance landed safely on Mars yesterday.
Success was not a given. It required independent people to work together for the common goal, and we all know that's not easy. Every team had to recover from setbacks and failures, solve problems, and move forward. It required perseverance.
Back in 1962, Americans were challenged by Pres. Kennedy to make the massive effort to get to the moon. His words still resonate:
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
