Word today that the MMRTG has been installed on the rover, so seems like a good time to start the launch thread. Launch currently scheduled for 30 Jul, 2-hr window opening at 1150 GMT.
GO PERSEVERANCE!!! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Greetings, I'm soliciting suggestions for additional twitter accounts to follow for the Perseverance launch tomorrow.
My own twitter list for planetary science, which I haven't updated in years, is set out below. Also, I have a question about good-luck peanuts. It's my understanding that these are generally considered mandatory for events like landings and orbital insertions following a cruise. I don't recall hearing so much about them for launches. I've got some peanuts ready for tomorrow in any event, but then, I'm very fond of peanuts. I'd be curious to hear other views. ******** Twitter List for Planetary Science ******* Emily Lakdawalla @elakdawalla Dr./Prof. Sarah Hörst @PlanetDr Shannon Stirone @shannonmstirone James Tuttle Keane @jtuttlekeane Doug Ellison @doug_ellison Dr Pamela L Gay @starstryder Nadia Drake @nadiamdrake Elizabeth Tasker @girlandkat Alexandra Witze @alexwitze Planetary Society @exploreplanets Scott Maxwell@marsroverdriver Kimberly Maxwell @marssciencegrad Dr. Julie Rathbun @LokiVolcano Morgan Cable @starsarecalling Katie Stack Morgan @kstackmorgan Dr. Sarah Milkovich @milkysa Stephanie [Stephanie L. Schierholz] @schierholz ADMIN: Topic merged into launch & cruise thread. Also, as I understand it, peanuts are only appropriate for landings in accordance with the start of the custom with Ranger 7.
