The parachute from the Perseverance landing carried a hidden message. Encoded in binary, the message read Dare Mighty Things. This was the team’s motto, and was plastered on the walls of Mission Control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

I love the motto Dare Mighty Things. Three words with so much potential.

Go and Dare Mighty Things!
