An exciting discovery on Mars is being overshadowed by turmoil at NASA, with budget cuts threatening to destroy a scientific legacy that has been built over decades. Yesterday, the agency shared a finding, published in Nature, of potential biosignatures identified by the Mars Perseverance rover in a 3.5 billion-year-old rock.

NASA’s Skyfall mission will drop six autonomous helicopters on Mars, using swarm tech to explore terrain, hunt resources, and push the future of human colonization.
