NASA notes Perseverance's long stay exploring Mars sites

Original: I mean, calling that place a "Hotel California" ¹ wasn't a joke. Now, it seems, # NASA recognizes it has been an eternit

NASA's Perseverance rover has been exploring the southern edge of a region nicknamed 'Idubi' and the area near Lac De Charmes on Mars. NASA acknowledged it has been a very long time since the rover moved through the area, prompting jokes comparing the mission to the Eagles' 'Hotel California' — a place you can never leave.

Why now: People are amused that Perseverance's extended exploration has lasted so long it evokes the 'you can check out but never leave' joke.
