    Cheers to the successful landing of @nasa’s Pers Cheers to the successful landing of @nasa’s Perseverance on Mars! 🚀 Throwing it back a few years to an amazing conversation I had at @sevengrandla with two veteran @nasajpl engineers. The husband asked what I was drinking, which happened to be the legendary Historic Core by @drinks_in_fruits, impeccably made by @luciee_ee. I explained the backstory and they both wanted one, sight unseen. 🥃 Turns out the husband was working on two key Perseverance projects: the Ingenuity “helicopter” and MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment). 🚁👽 All of this to say that I miss sitting in front of John, Lucy and so many other bartenders - and having random, mind-blowing conversations in bars. 📸 John & Lucy by @eugeneshoots #thristyinla #sevengrand #dtla #discoverla #perseverance #nasa #marslanding #tbt
