Mini-twisters on Mars anyone? New footage from the #Perseverance rover shows a dust devil as wide as a large aeroplane! As the air is so thin up there, if you found yourself standing in the middle of it, it would feel no worse than a gust of dirty wind. 🤓 🧪🔭🛰️ 🍿: youtu.be/YHKIZGKPZm4

Will be on Sky News talking about the Blue Origin launch today. Mixed feelings about it - awesome it’s an all woman crew, but sad it’s the first time in 60+ years that’s been the case. Imagine an all-female crew going to the ISS, feels a way off still. Hope it inspires people to dream big. #NS31
