Why NASA Lowered a Mars

Why NASA Lowered a Mars Rover on Cables
A 3D engineering explainer showing why a Mars rover was lowered from a hovering rocket stage onto its wheels. The sequence contrasts direct landing and a heavy platform with the cable-lowering method, then follows touchdown, cable release and the stage's flyaway.
Script, art direction, fact-checking and QA by me. AI-assisted Blender/Python 3D using NASA's Perseverance model; AI-generated space illustrations. Real landing footage and supporting imagery: NASA/JPL-Caltech (SVS 31250; PIA24333). Silent portfolio edition.
