These sounds are truly otherworldly.
NASA's Perseverance rover recorded 60 seconds of Martian sound on Saturday (Feb. 20), just two days after its picture-perfect touchdown inside Jezero Crater. The newly released file, which features mechanical whirring from the rover and the rustle of a Red Planet breeze, is the first true audio ever captured on the surface of a planet other than Earth.
"Really neat — overwhelming, if you will," Dave Gruel, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, said during a news conference on Monday (Feb. 22). The audio was unveiled during that briefing, as was jaw-dropping video Perseverance captured during its Feb. 18 entry, descent and landing (EDL).

This is pretty damn cool.

Listen to the Mars wind blow in these 1st sounds from the Perseverance rover
You can hear mechanical rover whirs and a Martian breeze.
This is pretty damn cool.
I may live long enough to see a colony in space.
