The crater provides a window into the dry planet's wetter past.
Current scientific thinking says that somewhere before three point five billion years ago,
River channels spilled over the crater wall and created a lake.
Depositing clay minerals along the way.
Microbes could have lived in that lake at some point in time.
They did.
The Perseverance rover might find evidence of them in the sediment around the crater.
The rover also carried a small helicopter called
The ingenuity.
Which would become the first machine to fly through the skies of another planet.
as opposed to simply descending through the atmosphere to land.
In an homage to the saga of human flight.
The Ingenuity helicopter carried a bit of fabric from the airplane in which the Wright brothers made the first aeroplane flight.

Humankind began operating robotic craft.
