Wished I would have never got rid of my women's clothes and stuff. I really enjoy dressing and being a woman. Sometimes, it doesn't work suppressing you desires.
What is the weirdest thing you had to account for when building the perseverance rover?
I've been very curious about the basis on which the landing site is decided! I read that it will land in the Jerezo crater, so is there a particular reason behind choosing that place for the landing?
Will the robot be able to send vedio footage?
What kind of math is needed to get to Mars? How is the path of the lander calculated?
what is the biggest challenge in the preparation of such a mission and how do you handle it?
Is there any chance that something could go wrong?
Why is the final phase so difficult?Sorry if I sound dumb,I'm just curious.Also,what will be the rover's first task after landing?
How will the audio feed from Perseverance make its way back to Earth?
What do you hope to find on the mars? / What would be the best possible outcome?
Hello!! Its wonderful to be able to ask questions, thank you!
About Perseverance, does it have a self-repair option? And as Curiosity is still operational, will they run missions together? Or will they split up to cover more distance?
Is this a sign that we're close to being able to set foot on Mars?
My final question is how do you receive the messages from such a long distance?
Thanks for all your hard work! 加油/Good luck!
“Is this a sign that we are close to being able to set foot on Mars?”
That's a wrap! Thank you all for the wonderful questions.

Got a question about black holes? Let’s get to the bottom of these odd phenomena. Ask our black hole expert anything!
Black holes are mystifying yet terrifying cosmic phenomena. Unfortunately, people have a lot of ideas about them that are more science fiction than science. Don’t worry! Our black hole expert, Jeremy Schnittman, will be answering your your questions in an Answer Time session on Wednesday, October 2 from 3pm - 4 pm ET here on NASA’s Tumblr! Make sure to ask your question now by visiting http://nasa.tumblr.com/ask!
Jeremy joined the Astrophysics Science Division at our Goddard Space Flight Center in 2010 following postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University. His research interests include theoretical and computational modeling of black hole accretion flows, X-ray polarimetry, black hole binaries, gravitational wave sources, gravitational microlensing, dark matter annihilation, planetary dynamics, resonance dynamics and exoplanet atmospheres. He has been described as a “general-purpose astrophysics theorist,” which he regards as quite a compliment.
Fun Fact: The computer code Jeremy used to make the black hole animations we featured last week is called “Pandurata,” after a species of black orchid from Sumatra. The name pays homage to the laser fusion lab at the University of Rochester where Jeremy worked as a high school student and wrote his first computer code, “Buttercup.” All the simulation codes at the lab are named after flowers.
